Exterior

Featuring front and side checker plating, high ribbed aluminium side cladding, smooth composite front & rear panelling and one-piece fibre glass roof, the Cruiser Family van turns heads. Add to that the colour-coded external features, modern decals and stylish tinted windows, the Cruiser Family is extreme value for money!

Cruiser_Family_Interior

Interior

Ply furniture with CNC cut doors gives the Cruiser Family strength without the extra weight . Interior space is fully utilised with large overhead cupboards, drawers on smooth runners and full height wardrobe in the bunk area. Privacy can be had by closing off the bunk area to the main living area via a concertina door.

Combine all of this with interior-designed colour schemes, 6'8" ceiling height & large quality double-glazed windows, the Cruiser Family has a spacious feel to it the moment you enter.

Chassis

Riding on an Australian-built steel chassis, the Essential Cruiser Family has a solid foundation. Extra strength is provided by the 6" Heavy Duty A-Frame which extends all the way back to the spring hangers. Combine that with the 'tried and proven' Load-Sharing suspension, access to most areas in Australia can be enjoyed by all!

Electrical & Plumbing

The Cruiser Family is equipped with nearly 200watts of solar on the roof, Heavy Duty Deep Cycle battery and a Trek digital management system which conveniently allows you to monitor battery, power & water supply. Combine that with nearly 220 litres of fresh water storage, free-camping off-grid is an option that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Conveniences such as full recessed Oven, drinking water filtration and wall-mounted 24" TV/DVD are just some of the many standard features in an Essential Family van. 12v USB ports are located at each bunk and main bed.
