REINFORCED FRAME
Everest doesn ’ t do things by halves . The meranti framing is reinforced and blocked at almost each join , as well as being bolted to the honeycomb floor . Structural integrity is taken seriously – the front , back and sides are secured with nuts and bolts . The internal cabinetry is also reinforced . Nothing whatsoever feels flimsy or as though it ’ d break at the first gust of wind . Everest even provides a 10-year structural guarantee – double that of many other manufactures . That should tell you something about its build quality .
Our review model was a 19ft 7in unit weighing 3046kg Tare with an ATM of 4500kg . Therefore , GoRV contributor Marty Ledwich was on towing duties with his 200 Series Land Cruiser . We hauled this van at freeway speeds towards our location , with Marty noting how smoothly the van sat behind his vehicle . That didn ’ t surprise me – I ’ ve towed plenty of Everests and have never had a problem .
The Kombat Performance sits atop a 6in Raptor-coated chassis that includes 4.5-tonne-rated independent trailing arm coil suspension with Pedders shockers on each arm .
