RV FEATURE
Riding on a 4in chassis with a 4in raiser, and riding on independent trailing arm coil suspension with twin shock absorbers and 12in brakes, our Overland 21XT weighed in with a Tare of 3050kg, though it had a lot of gear specified by the customer, including a large Dometic slide-out kitchen, Grip Sport bike rack, additional solar and water tanks. With its 3500kg ATM, it had 450kg worth of payload capacity.
The Overland XT came as standard with two 95L water tanks; however, the customer had opted for an additional 65L tank for drinking water, plumbed separately with a separate pump. Meanwhile, the customer also added an additional 95L grey water tank – one is standard fitment.
The extensive list of equipment continued on the nearside: there was an 18ft roll-out awning, and an optional slide-out Dometic kitchen( with two gas burners) that plumbed to the onboard gas supply of the van via a nearby bayonet. If I could’ ve made a small change here, it would be for the bayonet coupling to be recessed into the wall of the van, rather than fixed to the chassis rail.
Some vans you really should just see for yourself and I count this 21ft tandem-axle Overland XT as one of them. Yes, it was made for a New Zealand customer to NZ compliance requirements, but it is readily available locally too.
