RV REVIEW

JORDIE EXPLORES INFINITY !

The day ’ s mission was to once again push one of JAWA ' s offroad campers to its limits . The van JAWA had loaned me for the day was its best selling Infinity 15 . The Infinity is a hybrid with two bunks in the front and a king-size bed in the rear . It has independent twin-shocked suspension from Lovells . Apparently , this van is not only designed to carry the family , but carry them anywhere . I was going to test that theory .

TOWING THE INFINITY

I left the JAWA headquarters and headed up the Bruce Highway towards Teewah Beach . This is a drive-on beach , on which you can travel all the way north to Rainbow Beach . Beautiful but challenging .

Before reaching the beach , I had an hour of highway driving to do . In a way , this is the perfect example of a typical trip away in an offroad van . Generally , 90 per cent of our driving on holidays is bitumen before we actually reach the offroad section of the journey . Therefore , you need your van to perform just as well on-road as you do offroad .

The 15ft Infinity does just that . It tows steady and smooth . The van weighs almost 2.5 tonnes unloaded ; however , it doesn ’ t feel that heavy . They ’ ve managed to make it ride as if it was an extension of the car . It feels natural and instinctive .
