There are random square boxes on wheels and then there are some that make an impression. Onshore in North America there are a few trailers that have left lasting imprints but now an Australian caravan builder is making heads turn with the new drop-dead gorgeous iteration of a travel trailer that’s prepared for off-roading and presents panoramic views of the surroundings when docked.
Australia-based On the Move Caravans is constantly inspiring the generation of adventurers to go further and longer to experience the best the Aussie backcountry has to offer with a range of its overland vehicles. Its list of much-loved Aussie-built models is now joined by Crossfire 4.7 trailer, built overseas with an Australian heart and mind.
Designer: On the Move Caravans
The distinguishing characteristic of the Crossfire 4.7 trailer is its compact, unibody, woodfree design that’s engineered to be 100 percent weatherproof and durable for exploring the unexplored. But it’s the generous array of windows – on the lateral sides – and a couple on the back and front, that makes the panoramic views of the surroundings possible when you’re camping and the elements aren’t playing fair on the outside.
Featuring triple-composite construction, the trailer is designed for those who seek adventure with the comfort of home on the road. For this, the 4.7m-long Crossfire 4.7 packs a comfortable queen memory foam bed, dining cum lounge, a bathroom, and two – indoor and outdoor – kitchens. The trailer sits on a Desert Master chassis combined with an independent wishbone suspension and 265/75 R16 tires that prepare it to ride well beyond the tarmac.
Entry into the trailer is through the door with a security screen. On one end is the comfortable bedding for two, with a lounge cum dining area – comprising two leather upholstered seats with individual tables – in the center. Continuing further up on the other side is the internal kitchen provided with a 105-liter fridge and a dual-burner induction cooktop, the bathroom alongside comprises a sink, shower and cassette toilet.
While the trailer is apt with 200-liter fresh water and 100-liter gray water tanks, its efficacy for extended stays is assured with the power backup possible using 200Ah lithium battery, 200W solar panels, and 2000W inverter. On the Move Caravan adds style and functionality to this trailer by outfitting it with a slide-out external kitchen complete with a three-gas burner and a sink. There is no official word on the price or when the Crossfire 4.7 is likely to go on sale, but it is going to be a quick seller when it does.
