RV FEATURE
To that end, the 12V system was kept relatively simple. A 100Ah deep-cycle AGM battery was provided, as was a single 100W solar panel. There was no youbeaut battery management system or DC-DC charger either. After all, when you’ re plugging in at a caravan park, such features become unnecessary. The same could be said about the fresh water capacity. A single 100L fresh water tank was provided, but no grey water tank. Again, with this van, you’ re mostly staying at caravan parks. The result, however, was a lighter van – not lugging around hundreds of kilos worth of water has its advantages.
On the Move prides itself on its chassis setups. It doesn’ t use the RHS steel you’ ll find on many vans. Instead, like all its vans, On the Move used an‘ automotive style’ chassis made of high tensile steel with lightening holes – an engineering principle in which strength is gained and weight is reduced.
No timber was used in the construction of the van either. Instead, there were three one-piece composite fibreglass panels, one for each wall, and one for the floor, front, roof and rear sections. It all appeared nicely done and finished off. All fixings were stainless steel, and 400mm of body protection to the panels was provided.
I towed this diminutive tourer around Mt Tambourine, Qld, for a few hours – no worries at all. This van is built for couples happy keeping to the hinterland roads and the holiday parks, and it presents as a very neat proposition for doing exactly that.
Sometimes, we get a bit carried away with dreams of 24-footers with endless lithium power. It’ s great to see there are still manufacturers catering for a more sedate style of touring. What a good little rig!
