Lifestyle launches first hybrid fixed roof caravan
New 18ft off-road full height model delivers caravan comforts with hybrid camper designQueensland off-road hybrid pop-top specialist Lifestyle Campers has launched its first hard-top, or full height, fixed roof model.
Unveiled as a pre-production model at the 2025 Canberra Caravan Lifestyle Expo, the new Iconn E4 XK High Top is based on Lifestyle's Iconn E4 XK pop-top camper but features a new full body composite body construction that includes insulated panels with a fibreglass internal skin and external aluminium skin, on top of a galvanised chassis.
"This delivers a smooth, premium finish, added durability and eliminates the 'orange peel' effect common in full fibreglass bodies," Lifestyle Campers says on its website.
7155m long overall, 2220mm wide and 2940mm high (300mm taller than the pop-top version in travel mode), and with a 2300kg Tare and 3000kg ATM, the new 18ft (5400mm body length) Lifestyle E4 HK High Top comes loaded up with premium features including Cruisemaster's ATX airbag suspension, 880W rooftop solar, a Victron 3000VA inverter, 300Ah lithium batteries, external and internal kitchens with up to two induction cooktops and two fridges, diesel hot water and air heater, a roof-mounted air conditioner and 240L fresh water and 80L grey water capacity.
Like the E4 HK Pop-top's, the new High Top's layout delivers a north-south queen-size bed and combined ensuite, with the choice of café dinette, lounge dinette or bunk layout options.
"The High Top introduces fixed full-height overhead cabinetry, built-in microwave placement, internal induction cooking and increased internal storage," Lifestyle Campers said.
"(It's) ideal for those who prefer full-time internal height, premium storage internally and a conventional caravan feel."
There's no pricing listed on the Lifestyle Campers website, although it's expected to cost around the same as the pop-top model, which is currently listed at just over $95,000 (drive-away NSW).
The Iconn range of campers are largely manufactured in China but with final fit-out and finishing taking place at Lifestyle's Queensland production facility in Slacks Creek, where the 22-year old manufacturer's more upmarket Reconn Hypercamper range is built.
