Lifestyle camper x line1/13/2024 ![]() ![]() We used the controls on the camper, but if you want to sit back and watch things unfold, there’s a remote control as well, which would be even easier. It’s a hassle-free process, and there’s no need to go in the tent to struggle with adjusting and setting steel rods like you would on most campers. Raising the roof takes around 30 seconds, and the whole process takes approximately three minutes. ![]() Once the ends are in place, a switch in a panel on the offside of the camper operates the pump to inflate the tent’s tubes. Then, with the rear tyre carrier moved to the side, the front and rear floor sections open out on rams to form the beds. The next task is to open the eight latches holding the lids in place. When it came time to set up the Space X Air, we found a relatively flat clearing to allow the automatic steady legs room to operate efficiently. Helping in more uneven terrain are a 19-degree departure angle for some deeper creek crossings and a two-stage alloy step that can be quickly removed and stored out of the way. It was in its element in this sort of country because, while it might not have the ground clearance of an extreme offroader, it will handle long distances of corrugations and miles of rough roads. The Camper handled the corrugations beautifully and found the going easy through the winding forest tracks. The Mars Hilux was ideal, but plenty of the wagon-style 4WDs will be perfect too. Tare weight is 1960kg, and the 650kg payload takes the maximum weight to 2600kg, so a medium-sized tow vehicle will be needed. The sheet metal body is finished in glossy dark grey, which was soon covered in dust on our drive into the Bunyip Forest east of Melbourne. It’s a low-profile camper with a travel height of just 1.56m, so it will ride neatly behind your tow vehicle and, with the wheels set well back, it tows smoothly. In appearance, the new version shares the low lines and sporty style of the standard Space X model. There’s a fantastic amount of room on the double fold benchtop and functional storage, including a sizeable cutlery drawer.Īcross the back is a sturdy swing-away bar with two stylish weatherproof storage bins on either side of the spare wheel. The stainless steel slide-out kitchen is a ripper with a three burner Dometic cooktop, sink and light. There’s also a set of waterproof speakers here and a mount for the 24” television that comes as standard. Then further along is the access door and a hatch for the external electrical panel with switches and fuses for the various circuits and gauges for power and water. I like this arrangement as it keeps the bottles safe from damage and theft.įurther back along the kerb side, we find a compartment for a large 90x 540x 530mm fridge slide, then a generous slide-out pantry. Heavy-duty stone guards on the extended 120x 60 x4mm A-frame protect 20L jerry cans and sit aside a checkerplate box for the two nine kg gas bottles. The 10” ARC jockey wheel is heavy-duty construction, and its swing-away action makes hitching easy and saves on finding a place to store it. Up front, Mars uses a 3500kg McHitch Uniguide connection for its ease of hitching up and its wide articulation over uneven ground. Underneath are two 100L water tanks and a compartment for the twin 100Ah batteries, which, in an intelligent move, are accessed through the floor. A five-year structural warranty applies across the range.īuilt on a 70x 50x 4mm shield-coated and hot-dipped galvanised chassis, the Camper rides on Mars trailing arm suspension with coil springs and twin shock absorbers on each side. Its facilities in Melbourne and Brisbane assemble an extensive number of campers and hybrids from imported and locally sourced components to ensure the quality and durability of the products. ![]() Mars Campers have been a popular choice for over 16 years and stand as a premium and tested importer with thousands of examples on the road here in Australia. ![]()
