RV REVIEW
BUILDING THE HIGH COUNTRY
The High Country uses an an aluminium frame clad with composite aluminium and X-plate , an upgrade over the more common black checkerplate . It ’ s certainly a good-looking unit .
It is built atop a 4in SupaGal chassis complete with a 4in raiser , hence the ride height of this van . The drawbar , however , is a 6in unit extended by 450mm , creating space for a storage box , two 9kg gas cylinders , a mesh stoneguard , and a protected water tap . The supplied 230Ah lithium battery , which is mounted to the chassis rail on the offside , is charged when under tow via an Anderson plug , while a 12-pin is used for the running lights , brakes , etc .
The roof is a one-piece fibreglass sandwich panel , while the floor is a ‘ honeycomb ’ structure , effectively making the High Country a timber-free van in terms of its construction – obviously , laminated ply is used for the internal furniture .
