DOGS LOVE LEISUREFEST !

1 . MOUNTAIN TRAIL RV

The LXV 6.2 by Mountain Trail RV is an eye-catcher , that ’ s for sure . Albury-based Mountain Trail builds all components inhouse as this gives the company complete control over its products . The LXV , which is available in a number of sizes and layouts , has a whopping 900Ah of lithium battery capacity as standard , though the one on show actually had 1200Ah of lithium ! Charging all of that was 1290W worth of solar .

Water , therefore , would become your main limitation when it comes to staying off-grid for long periods , but on that topic the LXV 6.2 had 295L worth of fresh water storage .

When it comes to the construction of the van , it ’ s truly timber-free . In fact , the only wood you ’ ll find is the ply used for the cabinet doors . Even the carcasses of the cabinetry are fabricated from sheet metal .

In a sense , this van represents the evolution of Australian RV manufacturing . It demonstrates the trend towards loads of lithium amp hours and solar capacity , while well and truly moving away from timber . There ’ s a lot we could say about this rig but we ’ ll leave it at this : many RV manufacturers claim to be on the cutting edge , but Mountain Trail actually is .
