A reversing camera and external shower are found at the rear , along with the spare wheel , while the nearside of the van comes complete with a roll-out awning , a couple of speakers , a fold-down picnic table , 12V and 240V points , and a couple of LED awning lights .
Our Panda weighed in at 2680kg Tare , with an ATM of 3300kg , providing a reasonable payload capacity of 620kg . The unladen ball weight is 140kg . Side note : the two 95L water tanks are located forward of the axle set , so expect them to contribute somewhat to the ball weight . However , because it ’ s reasonably low to start with , remaining within the 4WD ’ s TBM shouldn ’ t be difficult , especially since any likely tow vehicle would have a TBM of at least 300kg anyway .
SUMMING UP
I ’ m told that ProRV currently offers an eight to 10-week lead time from ordering to hand-over – a timeframe that ’ s almost unheard of in today ’ s market .
In my experience , the 21ft 6in ProRV Panda offers excellent towing characteristics – it ’ s certainly one of the better-towing caravans I ’ ve hitched up in recent memory . While it ’ s built using traditional materials and methods , it offers decent value for money .
