About the Home Grown 22'6 Triple Bunk
The Home Grown 22'6 Triple Bunk is a semi off-road touring van built for a family. It has room for children as well as a couple up front, and suits buyers who want bunk sleeping without leaving the Home Grown line.
Tare sits at 2,625kg against a 3,500kg ATM, an 875kg payload margin. Ball weight comes in at about 199kg.
A queen pillow-top mattress sleeps two adults. A triple-bunk bay sleeps children down one side, with a single bunk opposite. The kitchen runs the same Thetford cooktop as the rest of the range, three gas burners plus one electric burner and a grill. A 23 litre flatbed microwave and a 200 litre Dometic compressor fridge keep the kitchen stocked.
Two 100Ah AGM batteries store power as standard. Two 200W solar panels feed a 40A MPPT controller, and a Victron Blue Smart charger tops up from mains power or the tow vehicle.
Two 95 litre fresh tanks hold 190 litres between them, each with its own level gauge. A 95 litre grey tank catches the run-off. A Houghton 3500 reverse-cycle air conditioner cools the cabin.
An Australian-made chassis rides on roller rocker suspension, on dual axles, with a BMPro Trail Safe breakaway system fitted. All-terrain tyres in 235/75R15 sit behind a 50mm ball coupling.
A Dometic 14ft roll-out awning in charcoal and a reverse camera come standard. Southern Cross prewires a television point; the screen itself is an optional extra on this range.
Southern Cross builds and sells it from Cockburn Central, Perth, skipping a dealer network altogether. Cover runs 12 months on parts and labour, and 5 years on the structure.

Delivery and freight
If there's no dealer in your state, most brands deliver Australia-wide. You can also collect from the factory. Interstate freight is a real cost, often a few thousand dollars, and it climbs with distance, so factor it in before you commit.
