with convoluted split tubing providing extra
protection as required.
When your travel plans have you heading
into one of the far flung corners of our arid
continent, you'll be happy knowing that
you've got 270L of liquid gold on board, in
three different tanks (90L potable, 180L non-
potable) as well as a 90L tank for your grey
water. The grey water tank comes with itsown
internal cleaning system to make flushingit
out a very simple procedure.
At the front, a cavernous storage lockerbig
enough to store your surfboard, has been
lined with marine carpet and runs acrossthe
entire width of the van. This is where youcan
access your water pumps, as well as the van’s
central nervous system. Well, its electrical
system anyway.
To make the most out of your off-grid
exploits, there's 450W of solar panels onthe
roof feeding our sun's plentiful energy to
300Ah of lithium batteries. Before leaving
home on your epic adventures, a 60A 240V
charger gets your batteries to full capacity,
while a 30A DC/DC charger will keep the
power topped up while driving via an
Anderson plug connection on the drawbar.To
make the most of all this power, low wattage
LED lighting is used throughout the van,as
well as conveniently-located USB charging
ports, 12V sockets and general power outlets.

On the offside of the van, a large electric
rollout awning offers shelter from the
elements, as well as providing the perfect
place to kick back and watch the sun go down
at Happy Hour. External LED lights, in both
white and yellow to keep those pesky insects
away, are mounted along the outside of the
van. Marine grade external speakers and an
external AV locker with TV mount will keep
you entertained well into the night.
Bushtracker vans don't mind going for a
bit of a splash every now and then. Thanks
to their external watertight door, they have
a wading depth of 1.2m. Being waterproof
also means that your van will be dust-proof
as well. A great little optional extra is to have
the Lifestyle external table fitted into the
watertight door. It's the ideal spot for those
drinks and nibblies when friends pop over
to say G'day.THE LAST LAUGH
Staying true to its roots (the company
celebrates 25 years in business next year),
Bushtracker continues to produce custom-
built, offroad vans to the highest of standards.
Not one to follow the crowd or use the latest
gimmicks hitting the marketplace, you know
that when you buy a Bushtracker, you've got it
for a darn long time. Or until you want to sell
that one and buy a bigger one!
