EXTERNAL DETAILS
The Evernew Platinum GTX is a 19ft 5in( internal length) tandemaxle van that looks like it means business. The green Probond composite aluminium cladding over the aluminium frame blended perfectly with the forest background – it’ s a great-looking caravan. It was, in fact, Everenew’ s first aluminiumframed van. After decades of working with timber, Dani felt it was time to give the customers the option of aluminium. Side note: he mentioned that he’ d intentionally omitted decals from the sides of the van, believing it looked cleaner without. I agree. Besides, the name of the van is beautifully laser-etched into aluminium trim.
Back to the construction, the aluminium studs are set at 400mm centres and then huck-riveted. The roof, however, is a 21mm-thick one-piece fibreglass construction that runs from the front to the very rear of the van. The roof is secured on top of aluminium framing, with the void filled by pink batts.
Built on a 6in RHS chassis with 6in A-frame, everything is nicely protected underneath. Each 95L water tank, including the 95L grey tank, is protected – while the outlets are wrapped in agi-pipe. Great. While agi won’ t necessarily last forever, it’ ll be easy to replace yourself. I genuinely felt that Evernew had worked on the underside of the Platinum GTX. The grey tank, by the way, contains a bypass valve so you don’ t need to use it if you can connect straight to a sullage point.
