Releasetwolatchesandpullonthehandle,and
the door rises on gas struts outwards to reveal
the interior. The J-Pod Outback reminds of me
of a campervan; it’s all one living space, of a
rectangular shape, with a prominent mattress.
There is no step for getting inside. I’m 6ft and,
as my notes tell me, “the camper’s floor comes
up to the bottom of my pockets”. I found entry
easy, but some – such as my aforementioned
grandfather – may find it challenging.
To the left is a 12V 45L Sphere fridge/freezer.
The fridge is secured using tie down points;
there are eight on the floor in front of the bed.
You would never use all eight when set-up,
as you need this space to access the bed, but
they’re handy for transit. Opposite the fridge, on
the right, is a fixed cabinet with three drawers of
different sizes. On its side there’s a 12V cigarette
inlet, the isolator switch, a few light switches and
a Furrion bluetooth speaker dock. On top there’s
a free, flat space with two power points.
On both sides there’s a long horizontal cabinet
running below the ceiling. Each side has three
separate sections for storage, with gear held
in with protruding edges and flexible netting.
There’s an LED light on the ceiling above theCUESFROMTHECAMPERVAN camper’s floor, turned on and off by an attached
switch. The light does a great job at illuminating
everything, but we found the bulb broken after
offroading. A simple fix, fortunately.
Then there is the north-south double
innerspring mattress taking up the width of the
interior. Again there is no step. Down both sides,
around the hip-height of sleepers, are windows
with blinds and fly screens. A Sirocco II fan fixed
on the high cabinet on the driver’s side amplifies
the airflow.
Near both sleeping heads are springy
magazine holders with two pockets. While the
passenger side of the mattress is set against
the camper’s wall, the driver’s side is separated
by a small strip with scooped-out retainers for
valuables, approximately below the window. On
both sides of the bed there are powerpoints,
a 12V plug for charging, and a blue light on a
flexible neck for night-time tinkering.
You basically have the whole space
underneath the bed for storing your gear. The
space is only slightly eaten into by the wheel
arches, battery, BMS, Shurflo pump, jack and
drop-down stabiliser leg winder. Two large
provided containers, with lids, help you to
organise gear. I’d use one of these for food,
perhaps the other for clothes.The J-Pod Outback may take cues from the
campervan, but few campervans would attempt this“THE J-POD OUTBACK REMINDS OF ME
