Built for families who travel further.

Inside the EXPEDITION MAX
Built around the way you actually camp.
Premium where you sleep
Innerspring queen with a leatherette headboard, panoramic windows, the kind of fit-out the brochure photos can't quite do justice. Soft to fall into after a long day towing.
Bunks, L lounge, kitchen
Inside the cabin, 2- or 3-bunk layout down back, an L lounge to gather round, full galley with sink, microwave and 130 L fridge. Parents and kids get their own ends.
Off-grid is the standard
Plug the kettle in. Turn the microwave on. Run the aircon and the laptop and the TV. 600 Ah of Renogy lithium and 800 W of roof solar, with a 3,000 W inverter wired to every powerpoint.
Built for the corrugations
Hot-dipped galvanised gooseneck chassis, OPUS vertical-mount Pedders shock suspension, Ridge Runner reinforcement and a DO35 articulating hitch. Engineered for the roads that test full caravans.

Common questions
Everything you want to know.
Same chassis, same power, same ensuite, same footprint. Pop Top sits at 2.67 m travel height for lower garages and bridges, weighs 2,450 kg tare. Hardside sits at 3.20 m, weighs 2,500 kg tare, sets up faster (no roof to raise) and adds insulation for four-season touring. The Hardside runs $2,490 over the Pop Top.
Up to 5 across the queen up front and the optional 2- or 3-bunk layout. Most families spec the 2-bunk for two parents and two kids; the 3-bunk works for three kids or extras coming along.
ATM is 3,000 kg, ball weight 260–265 kg. A capable family 4WD, 200 Series, Patrol, Y62, Prado, Pajero Sport, Everest, handles it within rated capacities. Confirm tow rating against your specific model and any aftermarket suspension.
600 Ah lithium with 800 W of roof solar handles a fortnight or more for an active family, fridge, lights, water pump, TV, device charging. The 3,000 W inverter runs the aircon, microwave and 240 V appliances directly. 240 L of fresh water gets four people through about a week of normal use before refill.
Hot-dipped galvanised gooseneck chassis, independent coil-spring suspension with vertical-mount Pedders shocks, Ridge Runner reinforcement on the corners, mud-terrain tyres and the DO35 articulating hitch. Built and specced for the same tracks the camper-trailer range handles, with caravan-grade comfort inside.
