ONE FOR THE PEOPLE

Cobba, what a fun name, and it’s one that fits the nature of the company that built it, Highline Caravans, well. Based out of Campbellfield, Victoria, Highline is a small family run business that specialise in affordable, semi-custom builds of common layouts and styles, predominantly for offroad. Our review van layout is a traditional centre-front entrance with north-south main bed, centre kitchen and rear ensuite and bunks. It has good amenities, decent off-grid capacity and intriguing looks.

The Cobba is a family van built to take a small tribe for a week or so in decent comfort with national parks and some off-grid nights on offer. It is affordable and built with locally sourced key components like the Road King Chassis and Oz Trekker suspension, where we’ll start our review.
