New hard-floor option for families
Full redesign of Complete Campsite's Fraser hard-floor camper delivers more storage and floorspace along with automated set-upWhen it comes to choosing between a traditional soft-floor or hard-floor camper, it’s traditionally been a no-brainer for big families who appreciate the much larger under-cover floorspace offered by soft-floor campers.
But NSW off-road specialist Complete Campsite is trying to change that, with the release of an all-new, ground up redesign of its top-spec Fraser hard-floor camper that offers a host of family-friendly features including more storage capacity as well as covered floor-space for sleeping.
With a clever re-design of the body so that it now incorporates the front toolbox into a single monocoque structure, Complete Campsite has reduced the Fraser’s overall length by 400mm (to 4700mm) while increasing the length of the hard floor by 200mm, to provide additional room inside for bunk beds or two stretcher beds .
Storage space in side lockers and under the bed has grown to 2500 litres, partly thanks to the main queen-sized bed being raised to provide more storage room underneath. To cope with the extra height there are now twin steps rather than a single step for climbing onto the bed.
Tare weight has increased by just 10kg to 1380kg (ATM remains at 2000kg), thanks to extensive use of aluminium and fibreglass in the main body, including a new composite fibreglass floor.
Hard-floor campers are often nose-heavy by design, but CC has worked hard to reduce the Fraser’s ball weight from 170kg to 130kg, to cater to a larger range of tow vehicles.
A new, ADR-compliant adjustable bolt-on drawbar also makes it easier to change from a standard to extended drawbar if circumstances change.
To keep pace with rivals like the Mountain Trail EDX, the new Fraser is also available with a remote-control, power-operated rear-folding mechanism. Opening or closing takes around 90 seconds and CC claims the single gearbox mechanism it uses is more reliable than the electric actuators used by the competition.
Other improvements include a bigger 140 litre water tank, a larger, twin section external shower tent that can remain attached when folded up, and a new, fully strutted aluminium boat loader and storage rack that costs an extra $2950 and can be retro-fitted at any stage.
The external kitchen on the on-side has also been re-designed and moved towards the rear of the camper, incorporating a large stainless steel bench that can double as a food prep area or outside dining table for the kids.
The re-located kitchen also allows better access to the side storage lockers, which now include a dedicated slot for a 6ft picnic table. The fridge slide-out can now accommodate a bigger 95 litre fridge.
The all-new Fraser retains all the standard features you’d expect in any premium Australian off-road camper, including a sophisticated 12V battery system, Webasto diesel hot water and air heater, two 12V water pumps, and a 2.4m annexe roof.
Pricing for the Fraser remains at $55,960, while the top-spec Fraser XTE with remote-control operation costs $61,950.
