Yes, some models can have washing machines fitted. Please check with your consultant.
11. How do you go fitting the rear awning set up in caravan park sites?
When you look at the length of the van with the rear awning extended it is no different to having a 21’4″ van. Many customers also opt for the side awning option as well.
12. Do you have solar available?
Freedom Plus models have a standard 160W solar system which can be expanded up to 300W. It also has an Anderson plug on the “A” frame for portable solar panels.
13. Are there many choices available in the upholstery for the seats?
Yes, we have our high-quality vinyl upholstery that comes in 3 standard colours. We also have an optional upgrade to a microfibre product available that also looks like leather and has a much larger colour range.
14. Are there colour choices in the bench and tabletops?
Yes, currently we have 3 colours to choose from. With the bench and cupboards being made from the same strong composite materials the number of colours is limited. Other options are being considered so please ask your consultant what is available.
15. Can bike racks be fitted?
Yes, we can fit a bike rack on the front “A” frame by what is called under slinging the spare wheel under the caravan like what is done with the spare tyre on a Utility, SUV or some wagons. This gives approximately a 400mm space on the A frame for a Bike Rack to be installed.
16. Can a larger fridge be fitted?
The Series II and the Freedom Plus can only have an under bench compressor fridge. The Karavané has a 2 door Fridge/Freezer fitted as standard.
17. Is there any protection offered from stone chips to the front of the van?
Yes, a vinyl protector is fitted directly to the van which helps with both reducing chips on the van and stones that can bounce back and smash the rear window in your vehicle.
18. Do you make a 4-berth version?
The Series II and the Freedom Plus cannot have internal bunks but we are investigating doing something based on the larger Karavane’ model. Please discuss with your consultant if you would like to know the options available regarding bunks.
19. Are you considering a tandem axle?
No, as the size and weight of our van’s does not require a tandem.
20. Can an oven be fitted?
All models come standard with a 3-burner gas cooktop, but a conventional Oven is not an option. Many customers have the external gas point fitted and use a hooded BBQ. Some customers have purchased Convection Microwaves (Please check dimensions before purchasing. Depth can be an issue).
