Fantasy boosts budget hybrid range
New 11ft ensuite and 13ft family off-road hybrid campers priced under $40,000Fast-growing Chinese RV brand Fantasy Caravan has added two fresh models to its budget-priced range of off-road hybrid pop-top campers.
The new entry-level 11ft (body length) Fantasy F1S-E pop-top includes both a slide-out rear bed and internal ensuite in its compact layout, while the new F3S-L 'low roof' version of Fantasy's popular 13ft pop-top hybrid camper is designed for easier home storage as well as off-road travel.
Along with a king size bed and combination shower/toilet, the couple's floorplan in the 11ft Fantasy F1SE pop-top includes a bench seat and array of internal cupboards, with a slide-out kitchen and drawbar-mounted toolbox accessed externally.
The new 13ft F3S-L hybrid pop-top is designed more for families with both a rear slide-out king bed and smaller front bed located inside, along with a kitchen benchtop with sink and mirror (to complement the outside kitchen), bench seating and caravan-style combination shower/toilet.
With its reduced travel height of 2180mm (170mm lower than other Fantasy pop-tops), the new F3S-L camper is designed to more easily fit inside home garages and squeeze under carports.
Both new Fantasy models are priced under $40,000 but come well equipped for dirt road adventures with an off-road coupling, jockey wheel and trailing arm coil suspension, along with comfort features including reverse cycle air conditioning, gas hot water, 22in TV, Bluetooth audio, electric awning, 200 litre fresh and 80 litre grey water capacity, and a twin 150Ah battery system with 30amp battery charger, 2000W inverter and 300W roof-mounted solar panels.
Like other Fantasy hard-wall models, the new campers are built in China using a hot dipped galvanised chassis, aluminium composite walls and a fibreglass panel for the roof and front sections.
The 11ft F1S-E is priced from $36,990 and has a claimed Tare weight of 1700kg and 2750kg ATM, while the 13ft F3S-L is priced from $38,990 and gets a Tare of 1880kg and ATM of 2750kg.
The new models are currently on display at Fantasy's Wendouree, Victorian dealership, with Fantasy's four other east coast outlets expecting delivery before the end of the year.
After relocating its Melbourne headquarters and showroom from Moorabbin to bigger premises in Dandenong South to cope with increased demand, the four-year old RV business is now planning to roll out more hybrid campers next year including a new 16ft model that would boost its off-road pop-top range to 16 variants in total.
