RV REVIEW

NOT YOUR TYPICAL CARAVAN !

Kokoda Caravans has been on a roll . In fact , this manufacturer has been steadily developing a new range of caravans . This new range perhaps heralds a new era for Kokoda , in which traditional construction methods are pushed aside in favour of the composite fibreglass panel beast we see here . It ’ s called the Counter Strike and it ’ s slowly becoming available in a variety of sizes and layouts .

Mid last year , we looked at the first Counter Strike off the production line , though it was then known as the Commando . However , it ’ s since undergone a name change , and this 19ft 6in variant has all the hallmarks of a serious offroader .

‘ ENDLESS ’ POWER

The C196 Counter Strike rides on air-bag suspension and a 6in chassis with raiser . At the back , there are rated recovery points and a 110L water tank , while towards the front are another two 110L water tanks .

The Counter Strike makes excellent use of the latest technology . It comes as standard with the DCX 7kW / h lithium battery system by OzXCorp , which has a built-in 5000W inverter . This chassismounted system offers a host of benefits , including the ability to accept up to 4kW of solar . You can even let other caravanners plug in to share your power !
