SUMMING UP
Built from fibreglass sandwich panels with a structural foam core with excellent insulating properties, the 18ft 6in Pathfinder Rugged Trek does deserve your attention. In standard format, you’ d be off-grid for days or a week at a time, but there’ s scope there to really add some more power.
The fit and finish throughout is to a high standard, and overall the van conveys a certain strength of purpose. I realise some people might find the payload capacity on the low side if they’ re intending to cart everything including the chandelier with them, but I believe with sensible packing( which we should all be striving for anyway – if you haven’ t used it in six months, get rid of it), there’ s enough for your water, the gas in the cylinders and your gear. I certainly wouldn’ t mind making it my permanent home away from home!
