HILLTOP MAWSON

The Mawson rode on a 6in X- Guard-coated chassis with Cruisemaster ATX airbag suspension. Hilltop also fitted Cruisemaster’ s Body Control System, a sophisticated system that levels the van east-west as well north-south via its‘ Horizon Levelling’ feature.

On the A-frame, you’ ll find a powder-coated aluminium storage box with a slide-out tray to suit a portable fridge on the nearside. Hilltop had included an Anderson plug here too – great! This box was also intended to house gas cylinders, but here’ s the thing: no gas was plumbed through to the body of the van, so the gas cylinders were intended solely to power a barbecue, with a gas bayonet fitted to the offside.

The cooking facilities inside the van were electric induction. The van was equipped, after all, with two 200Ah lithium batteries as well as 800W of solar on the roof. The Mawson was also equipped with the Hitech power management system containing a three-in-one charger( AC, DC and solar), a 2600W pure sine wave inverter, as well as a special control module. The digital screen allows you to control the 12V circuits, including the lights, whether it’ s the reading lights at the club lounge or the light in the bathroom. Of course, these could all be controlled via the intuitive app, too.
