OFFROAD CHALLENGE
As we hauled it over various lumps , bumps and other undulations , we were surprised by the effectiveness of the short ( ish ) rear overhang . In some respects , we expected the rear bumper ( which also serves as the mounting point for the spare wheel ) to contact the ground – never underestimate the benefit of a rear cutaway – but it seemed to do very well in this regard .
Both at the front and rear , Ausflex has given the Sunchaser an LED light bar , while a checkerplate storage box , protected by a mesh stoneguard , sits on the A-frame . The gas cylinders live in the central compartment . There ’ s even a tunnel boot , a protected tap on the drawbar , a couple of marine speakers , an ‘ entertainment locker ’ complete with the relevant TV connections , and a couple of drop-down picnic tables .
SUMMING UP
All of the above adds up to quite a complete caravan , both inside and out . Our particular model of Sunchaser had a Tare of 2340kg and an ATM of 2880kg , making it more than suitable for mid-size 4WDs , such as the Pajero Sport or Ford Everest . It ’ s vans such as this that make one realise you can pretty much have it and still have a relatively compact onroad footprint .
No , it ’ s not a tiny caravan , but it ’ s not a behemoth either . It offers an appealing blend of features in an easy-towing package that ’ s appropriately sized for offroad work .
