RV REVIEW

THIS COMPACT CARAVAN HAS EVERYTHING !

Australis Caravans opened shop a few years ago in Craigieburn , Vic , with the intention to offer a full range of caravans , from couple ’ s tourers , family vans and a dedicated offroader called the High Country , which we featured within these pages about six months ago .

However , Australis has since developed an up-specced version of the High Country , known as the Xtreme . While the High Country is already well kitted out , the Xtreme version has a few extra features and touches that you wouldn ’ t get otherwise .

But for me , the thing that appeals the most , is its size . While the High Country is available in larger formats , the idea for now is to keep it fairly compact . I ’ ve spent some time with a 17ft 6in version , and even a 14ft 6in version ( both internal length ).

This layout and size is perhaps my favourite . Being 15ft 6in internally , it splits the difference nicely , while retaining its compact size .
