M

s

fire are definitely better, too. After our full and

lively days out enjoying the Aussie bush testing

the Reconn R2, each evening as we returned to

the welcoming campsite was like that scene from

Jaws where the shark mounts the boat’s back

transom, coaxing the unfortunate Quint into its

gaping maw. Lifestyle made sure we ate like

Great Whites during a summer blockbuster.

The Reconn R2 is equipped with probably my

favourite external camper kitchen set-up among

the many I’ve enjoyed over the years. Having a

handy, almost immediately accessible kitchen

at your fingertips is a big win, day-after-day,

night-after-night, when out camping in the bush,

far away from kitchens where food preparation

surfaces and well-positioned pantry storage are

taken for granted.

Heaps of interior head room once the top is popped

A design classic. The pop top raises a
fair way, which enables lower ride height
