A Dometic Series 7 air conditioner, a 28-inch smart TV with a premium audio system and a Starlink Mini provision are standard. Outside are a tub-lined tunnel boot and a powder-coated toolbox.

It rides on 3.7-tonne Titan X Plus suspension with 12-inch brakes, 16-inch rims on 265 tyres, a DO35 coupling and sway control. Checkerplate protects the sides, wheel spats and rear, with galvanised guards over the water tanks and the plumbing. Power is an 880W solar array and a 600Ah chassis-integrated lithium battery with a 3,000W inverter and a DC to DC charger. Water is two 110L fresh tanks and a 110L grey tank, with instant gas hot water, mains quick fill, a filter and an outside shower. The fridge is a 224L compressor unit. A few plans change the spec.
