SELF-SUFFICIENCY
LIKE other aspects of this trailer, the
enclosed toolbox up front is well thought-
out. The one-piece unit is aluminium to
keep weight down and is coated in Rhino
lining, with mud flaps underneath to
protect it against stones. There’s a jerry
can holder in the two outer bays, a diesel
fuel tank for the hot water system in
the right-hand bay, and two 4.5kg gas
cylinders in the centre. The perforated
aluminium floor makes it ideal for
firewood, garbage, wheel chocks or any
dirty or wet items.
However, the LED in thetub would
probably be better fitted to the lid.
On the driver’s side at
the front are
three storage
bays, with
frictionhinge-equipped doors. There’s a heap of
storage here for the supplied portable
toilet, a generator, or anything else you’ll
need to make your camping comfortable
and convenient.
Electrically, the EDX is well-equipped.
The once-standard dual 105Ah AGM
batteries were replaced with an
equivalent 100Ah lithium battery that
charges from effective flat to full in
2.5 hours, while also shedding 50kg of
weight. It is charged by the Redarc 30A
battery management system (lithium
version) with a DC-DC charger and MPPT
solar regulator.
There is a huge inventory of lights
for the EDX, with 11 separate LED
units included, six of which are inside.
The main wiring harness is a complete
sheathed electrically engineered
automotive wiring loom, with DeutschThere’s plenty of
external storage for
your gear.The en-suite is
discretely placed to
the offside.
