Bolwell Edge for Queensland show

With the first customer unit delivered earlier this month, Bolwell RV will display two examples of its radical new Edge 'luxury soft-roader' caravan in full production trim at next month's Queensland Caravan, Camping & Touring Holiday Show.

Bolwell RV launched its futuristic van at the 2010 Leisurefest in Victoria, and with plenty of interest at the show recorded its first customer deposit within four days.

As Bolwell’s exclusive Queensland dealer, Kratzmann Caravans will display the first fully customer-ready units in typical trim level to highlight the range of standard equipment available including Bolwell’s Surefoot off-road suspension, as well as options including air conditioning, audio-visual systems and slide-out external kitchen.

"The Edge offers a great array of comfort options to suit people upgrading from off-road camper trailers who want something more comfortable and luxurious for their travels," said Bolwell marketing director Owen Bolwell.

"People have recognised the Edge as a different kind of van that combines rough-road ability with a surprisingly spacious interior and impeccable design and finish."

The Bolwell RV Edge was developed over four years by a team headed by Vaughan Bolwell, who draws on extensive experience in heavy transport, automotive and aerospace design.

To keep the Edge’s ATM to a reasonably light 1600kg, it has a fully moulded fibreglass shell which has been contoured for low drag and aerodynamic stability, and reinforced with carbon fibre and Enduracore synthetic fibre.

The Edge is priced from $51,490 tow-away, and people ordering at the show can expect delivery in the third quarter of the year.
