down portable table. Under the seats we find

twin 100A AGM batteries and the interior is

well serviced with USB and 12V power options.

The large area created by the rear slide allows

the opportunity for another double bed at the

rear, or perhaps you would prefer a queen by

dropping the hinged rear seat. All of the finishes

are neat and tidy with more storage available

under the seats. Austrack has also provided

plenty of low energy lighting and charging

options all around the Savannah X with strip

lighting inside on individual switches.

The annexe is an absolute ripper that really

makes this large living space complete. It

extends all the way to the back of the rear slide

so the kitchen area is very well protected. You

can add the detachable side walls, floor and

draft skirt as you desire. However one of the

sides includes a huge ensuite for the porta-

potti and portable Country Comfort gas hot

water service supplying a nice hot shower at

the end of a long day’s excitement. Yet again

I emphasise that this is all included in the

package price. I really liked the plastic windows

in the annexe as well and I loved the idea that

you could roll the internal awnings up halfway

to get plenty of natural light and privacy at the

same time.

HOW’S IT TOW?

I have to admit that we never really had

the opportunity to scale a cliff, run through

a quagmire or rattle down 10,000km of

corrugations, however it sat like it was on rails

on the bitumen, scrambled over inundations

with ease, toddled through some creek

crossings and climbed over a rocky ramp

without a problem. Its Tare weight including

the tent is a reasonable 1440kg with 120kg

ball weight and an ATM of 2000kg. Once the

water tanks are full you still have some payload

opportunity. However should you load the boat

rack it will reduce considerably. Yet the package

is so complete you only need load some

clothes, food and fishing rods and off you go.

WHAT’S THE VERDICT?

Austrack boasts that many trailers offering far

less than the Savannah X retail for well over

$30,000 and I must agree with them – their

retail price is only $23,990.

This is a trailer for families. Two people

travelling don’t need the added slide out or

that much living space, and should perhaps

consider the Austrack Telegraph X that stole our

hearts at last year’s Camper Trailer Of The Year.

However if travelling to your Utopian offroad

destination and putting up camp for a week or

two is your purpose, then the Savannah X gives

you every conceivable facility including water

and power generation ability, plus the huge

“living” area that makes a house a home.

Yes, I forgot to mention that it comes

complete with a TV/DVD/MP3 and all that stuff

• I suppose it’s good for the kids, big and small.

family, the Austrack Savannah X is a
