Freelander
The Freelander is Lotus Caravans' lightweight off-road range for couples and families. Ten floorplans run from 18ft 9in to 24ft and sleep up to six. It is the entry point to the Lotus line-up, built to the same standard as the rest. Layouts include double or triple bunks, side or club lounges and a work-from-the-road annex option. Standard fit-out runs to a 216L 12V compressor fridge, a portable induction cooktop and a four-in-one convection oven. A wall-mounted washing machine, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a one-piece fibreglass shower and a 12V Google smart TV are also standard. The body is marine-grade composite panel on a full aluminium frame and Lotus's painted Gen 2 chassis. Honeycomb flooring, Sancell insulation, checkerplate body armour and full underbody protection finish it. It rides on Cruisemaster Air Advantage XT L3 manual suspension with 17-inch wheels, 265/70R17 mud-terrain tyres and 12-inch off-road brakes. Double-glazed tinted windows and a Dometic dust reduction system are standard. Power is a 600Ah REDARC lithium pack fed by 1,050W of solar and a 3,000W inverter. A 240A charger with battery management, a 45A solar charger and a 45A DC-DC charger complete it. Water is two 95L fresh tanks and a grey tank, with gauges, an external shower and a tap on the A-frame. The coupling is a DO45 or DO35 depending on the build's weight, and Lotus quotes weights per build on enquiry. Pricing excludes on-road and delivery costs, the 2026 styling pack and LC Customs additions are standard, and colours and finishes are yours to choose. Lotus sells through its dealers and offers factory tours by booking.

Off Grid
The Off Grid is the lightest van in Lotus Caravans' off-road range, built in seven floor plans from 17ft 9in to 21ft. Layouts run from couples plans to bunk plans that sleep up to seven.

A one-piece fibreglass shower, reverse-cycle air conditioning and a 216L 12V compressor fridge are standard.

Trooper TRX
The Lotus Trooper TRX is a premium off-road caravan for long-distance and off-grid travel, built in 20 floor plans from 18ft 9in to 24ft 6in. The layouts sleep up to seven, with separate bedroom and bunk areas either side of the kitchen, so they suit couples and families. Interiors have fibreglass walls and ceiling, honeycomb flooring, rainfall benchtops, leather lounges and Lotus's interlocking cabinetry. The kitchen has a 216L 12V ventless compressor fridge, a portable induction cooktop and a four-in-one convection under-bench oven.

Reverse-cycle air conditioning, a dust reduction system, 12V Sirocco fans, a 12V Google smart TV and a Fusion Apollo 770 sound system are standard. Flooring, benchtop, hardware and splashback finishes are chosen from a new colour collection. The frame is Lotus's AL+ all-aluminium construction with German marine-grade composite panels, in smooth or checkerplate finish and a range of colours. The body sits on the Lotus X-Guard hybrid truss chassis with a drop gooseneck, complete underbody armour and a DO45 coupling. It rides on Cruisemaster ATX air suspension with BCS levelling, 12-inch off-road brakes and 34-inch Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek tyres on 17-inch Dirty Life wheels. A reinforced galvanised four-arm bumper with a wood cage, recovery points with shackles, a break-away strap and an aluminium entry step are fitted.

Trooper Platinum
The Trooper Platinum sits at the top of Lotus Caravans' off-road range. It is built in layouts from 20ft 6in to 24ft 5in for couples and families of up to five. It is the range Lotus builds for buyers who want nothing left off the list. Layouts run to club lounges, dinettes or straight lounges with separate sleeping zones and oversized ensuites. The kitchen is large-scale with a 216L 12V ventless compressor fridge, and a wall-mounted washing machine is standard with a dishwasher on selected layouts.
