Originally designed for the Australian Military way back in 1995, the unique suspension of the TVan is one of the very few that are rated at Military Grade with its Asymmetric Link chassis.  They are designed to be able to go anywhere that a Unimog goes and come back without damage!  It is robust with significant wheel travel and requires minimal need for service.

There are 2 water tanks onboard.  The main tank is 108 litres. The second tank is 70 Litres.  We have the capability to pump from an external source such as a stream, dam or jerry can without infecting our onboard tanks and have a mains pressure outlet.  Diesel powered hot water is available for both the kitchen and showering.  We average less than 10 litres of water use per day and tend to be 10-12 days off grid.

In addition to 240v (which we rarely use), we have a 120w fixed solar panel on the roof and a 350w Baintech solar blanket.  Charging is handled by a Redarc 40amp DCDC charger that apportions charge from the solar panel or the vehicle when hitched and being driven.  Our batteries are 2x 100w high draw Revolution Lithium batteries monitored by a Victron management system and a 240v Victron charger. A 300W inverter powers/charges our devices.  An external Anderson plug allows us to use our extra solar blanket.  All lockers have LED lights.  The external area has 2 switchable white/orange lights.  Internally there are bed head LED lights and internal LED lights.  There is a myriad of USB charge points and merit plug outlets.

The TVan comes with the premium kitchen which is a 3 burner Thetford gas unit.  We carry 2x 4kg gas bottles on board and travel with a Zigler and Brown gas BBQ.  A custom fitted (by Atlas RV) Dometic 75l fridge/freezer (in the front locker), in the van area there is a further 55 litre fridge/freezer.  A slide out pantry completes our food storage in the TVan.  Additional food and drinks are stored in the drawers in the Landcruiser

The front locker has 2 slide out drawers which house our canvasses and BBQ. The side locker houses solar blanket (350w), fire pit, fishing gear and rods, power cables and misc camping equipment.  Inside we have a full size Queen bed with underbed built in lockable drawers as well as netting for our clothes. The wet lockers in the front of the TVan are used to store various levellers, hoses and water filter.  

The tug is a 2023 VX Toyota Landcruiser, alloy bull bar with integrated lightbar.  A snorkel is planned and ARB drawers are installed which store tools, recovery gear (soft shackles, equaliser strap, snatch strap, shovels, chainsaw etc), additional clothing and food.  A set of Maxtrax are fitted on the TVan and another set inside the Tug.  Tyres and Rims are Falken Wildpeak AT3W (265/65/18). An ARK 750XL jockey wheel is used which gives us more lift at the drawbar.  Also fitted with VSR and Anderson plug to the tow bar and Redarc Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller. The TVan has a Savvy Level fitted.

We have a Zoleo personal locator which we carry when out walking, Starlink mini for maintaining contact and keeping up to date, UHF hand held and a fixed radio.  We use a Garmin Tread Overlander with InReach for navigation in addition to our many paper maps.

Our TVan comes with a tropical roof (allows air circulation on the top of the tent area as well as protection), quick setup awning (batwing) which we use most of the time and also carry a quick setup canvas, full annex canvas (for longer stays), and an ensuite canvas.
