New Titanium boosts off-road hybrid's comfort levels
New full width ensuite couple's layout delivers caravan-style luxuries to 18ft 6in HS1 composite modelMelbourne's Titanium Caravans has ripped the covers off a brand new luxury couple's layout for its premium hybrid series, at this year's Queensland Caravan and Camping Supershow at the Brisbane Showgrounds.
Based on the Titanium HS1 full composite hybrid off-road model, the new floorplan for the 18ft 6in hard-top couple's 'van provides a more luxury caravan feel, mainly due to a full width rear ensuite with separate shower and toilet, instead of the usual combination shower and toilet.

The stylish and more spacious rear bathroom includes a composting toilet, a vanity with bowl sink and mixer tap, drawers and cupboards, and a fibreglass shower cubicle with clear screen door and timber-slat base.
Other desirable caravan-style internal features include a long kitchen bench with large sink, L-shape leatherette dinette, a raised north-south queen bed with access on two sides, a large vertical fridge-freezer and plenty of other closed storage options throughout.
Pricing for the HS1 Hardtop starts at $150,195, but the show 'van had around $25,000 of options fitted including an external Dometic dual zone fridge and Thetford induction/gas combo cooktop for the outside kitchen, a Wolf Fabrication rear bar with a single spare and woodbox, Cruisemaster XT Freestyle suspension with Level 4 Polyair self-leveling airbags, and an up-spec Victron Level 4 off-grid power system including two 300Ah lithium batteries, 3000W inverter, 120amp AC charger and 1000W rooftop solar.
Other optional extras fitted to the show 'van included a 3kg washing machine mounted in an outside locker, a premium slimline toolbox and Cruisemaster DO-45 hardened chains on the A-frame, and a dust reduction system and extra Sirocco fan on the inside -- bringing the final 'as displayed' price to $175,795.
As standard, the tandem-axle 18ft 6in HS1 also comes with 16in Method Race wheels with Yokohama off-road rubber, three 110L water tanks (fresh and grey), a Fiamma awning, reverse camera, diesel heater and air-con, a TV, stereo and pillowtop mattress.
Like other Titanium hybrids, the latest HS1 18.6 Hardtop features a narrow-width body to make it easier to tow down tight bush tracks, and a hot dipped galvanised chassis, fibreglass composite sandwich-panel body construction and aluminium-framed furniture for improved insulation and durability.
The display 'van had a Tare mass of 2808kg and a 3500kg ATM, for a maximum payload of 692kg.
