This van was framed in meranti timber and clad with silver and black aluminium with styrene foam insulation . The roof is a one-piece fibreglass sandwich panel . The van is built upon a Proline extended chassis with Tuffride 3.5-tonne suspension with twin shockers .
Underneath are the usual accompaniments , from drop-down legs to neatly presented plumbing . The main components are three 95L water tanks and a 95L grey water tank . There are twin 225Ah lithium batteries to power the van while on the roof are three 200W panels .
SUMMING UP
There ’ s a lot to like about this Coastline . That said , it ’ s a big van that weighs in with a Tare of 2998kg and an ATM of 3500kg , so it will require a larger , suitablyrated 4WD .
Towing it up the Hume , I have to say it sat well on the back of the Cruiser . It behaved well on some rough surfaces , which are prevalent on many main roads in Victoria at the moment , and reacted nicely .
