RV REVIEW
Are there any compromises in the layout ? Well , it needs to be considered in the context of the van ’ s size . So no , I didn ’ t feel like the layout presented serious compromises . There is only the one wardrobe , which is a function of the east-west bed , but there are drawers beneath the bed and a healthy array of overhead lockers too .
Other features inside this van include a 188L compressor fridge-freezer , a diesel heater ( the fuel tank is encased in checkerplate and mounted to the rear bumper , behind the spare wheels ), and let ’ s not forget the Dometic reverse-cycle airconditioner . It ’ s a well-presented interior that really does pack in a lot of desirable equipment .
HIGH COUNTRY EXTERNALS
The High Country Xtreme is built atop a 4in SupaGal chassis with a 4in raiser , so the van does sit quite high on its Level 4 TuffRide air-bag suspension , which is rated to 3000kg .
Forward of the axle , Australis has given the van two 95L water tanks protected by gal sheeting , along with a fast-fill connection , while there ’ s a 95L grey water tank to the rear .
