Wraps off latest show-stopping ADU mega-van

The wraps are off the latest Aussie Destinations Unknown (ADU) 'influencer 'van', which is on display for the first time at the inaugural Let's Go Ipswich Caravan & RV Expo, that's running at Queensland's Willowbank Raceway from August 28–30.

The 23ft 6in Offroad Grit RV caravan is the sixth custom caravan build for the popular caravan influencers, while their latest heavily-modified GMSV Silverado HD tow vehicle comes kitted out with a rooftop tent, tinny loader and full off-grid power system of its own.

So far, the couple have revealed few details about the finished 'van apart from some videos of the factory build process.

The unique, presumably 4500kg ATM off-roader is being promoted as a 23'6 Bespoke Signature Series (Grit050 - ADU) by Offroad Grit RV, a boutique builder located on Queensland's Sunshine Coast that specializes in high-end composite off-road caravans.

As well as teaming up with Offroad Grit RV, ADU has partnered up with a number of other RV brands for their latest build, including Cruisemaster, Arizon and Victron Energy.

According to Arizon, the bespoke 'van features a 'powerhouse' off-grid system including an Arizon 24V Victron Lynx 3000 power control system, paired with Victron Energy lithium batteries and Arizon Off-Grid’s new premium Aero 24V solar array.

Arizon says ADU’s latest custom GMSV Silverado HD tow vehicle has also been transformed into a fully equipped off-grid vehicle, fitted with its own advanced Arizon Off-Grid and Victron Energy power system.

While underneath the 'van is Cruisemaster's big-ticket ATX Unleashed airbag suspension with the latest BCS (Body Control System).

The latest ADU 'van also likely boasts some RV industry firsts, including custom EVA foam flooring supplied by H2O Flooring.

"They did the flooring in our last boat, they’ve just finished our new boat, and now they’re working their magic on the caravan too," Chris from ADU explained in a recent post. 

Chris and Miriam from ADU were last seen on the show circuit spruiking their jaw-dropping 23ft Sunland LTD ADU Edition, before the couple announcing they had teamed up with Offroad Grit RV after Sunland Caravans entered administration in June.

They reckon their latest set-up boasts the most off-grid power they've ever run in one of their custom rigs.

“After six years of full-time off-grid living, we knew exactly what we needed, and we knew it was time to push further than we ever had before,” the couple said.

“We've always been able to leave the van and head out in just the Chevy with the rooftop tent, but now with the boat on board and a system this powerful backing it all up, we can go further, explore more and stay out longer than ever before."

There's been no mention so far of what the cost would be for a similar-build 'van, but there's a fair chance it would make our next Top-10 pricey 'van list!

If you're looking for a lighter but still very well equipped 'van from the same manufacturer that's ready to go, there's currently a 2025-build, 20ft Escape couple's model located in Victoria and listed on caravancampingsales for $184K (pictured above).
