Atlantic has revealed its new off-road van, the Hi-Terrain at the Sydney Caravan Camping Holiday Supershow.
The Hi Terrain is available in 17ft x 7ft 9in or 19ft x 7ft 9in layouts with two single beds or an island queen bed and either an L-shaped lounge or a cafe dinette.
The new Hi-Terrain sits on a six-inch chassis and Oz Trekker coil-spring independent suspension (with one shock per wheel). Brakes are 12in electric and wheels are 16in alloy fitted with Cooper ST mud-terrain tyres. The Atlantic comes with a D035 off-road hitch.
Off-road body protection runs to a mesh stone deflector, gal-lined floor with checker plate protection for plumbing and the two fresh water/one grey water tanks.
The body is an aluminium composite construction (with one-piece timber floor) as per Atlantic’s New Generation range and has modular interior fit-out. The two-berth van has the familiar front bed, centre kitchen/lounge and rear bathroom layout.
The van weighs 2740kg Tare, 3440kg ATM and a 190kg towball download (at Tare).
The Hi-Terrain looks promising for off the grid camping with two 150watt solar panels, two 120amp AGM batteries and two 95 litre water tanks (and a 95 litre grey water tank). The van also comes with two 9kg gas bottles as standard.
Key standard equipment includes a slide-out external kitchen with gas/electric cooktop and mini grill, external shower, Trek digital water and battery gauge, Ibis roof-mounted air-conditioning, 12v Sirocco fan, 2kg washing machine, 24-inch flat-screen TV, audio system, 184-litre fridge, microwave, three gas/one electric cooktop and oven.
Storage is covered off with a checker plate front tool box (with jerry can holders), a front tunnel boot, a slide-out generator compartment under bed storage and multiple drawers and lockers within the van.
The Hi Terrain joins three other models offered by the Campbellfield-based caravan manufacturer -- the E-Series Ltd, the Endeavour and the New Generation -- and has a recommended retail price of $83,600 (including on-road costs).
