ALUMINIUM FOUNDATION
Let’ s begin at the foundation. The EV Multi + rides on a 170mm aluminium chassis with 170mm A- frame. The inhouse-built aluminium chassis is another feature that appealed to Paul. As a truck driver, all the tipper trailers he had towed were built on an aluminium chassis. As he says, if it’ s good enough for a truck, it’ s good enough for a caravan, and the weight savings of aluminium in comparison to steel were very appealing.
It’ s fitted with Level 4 Cruisemaster ATX airbag suspension and BMPRO electronic sway control. Asked how it tows, Paul couldn’ t be happier. The EV Multi + tipped the scales at 2763kg Tare, with an ATM of 3500kg – both caravan and tow vehicle are a great match.
Wonder Roo has the ability to frame its vans in aluminium as well as build vans from fibreglass sandwich panels. Paul and Ellen opted for TIG-welded aluminium aluminium box-section studs, with a fibreglass-lined, TIG-welded, aluminium-framed roof, a‘ honeycomb’ flooring and acres of protective checkerplate. This is a substantial build.
