COTY REVIEW GREAT AUSSIE GRAVITY 18G
Great Aussie Caravans is a brand that flies under the radar, and we are told that this event is the first time it has undertaken any significant promotion. Yet, it has been making vans for 10 years and produces up to 80 vans each month from its sprawling Melbourne factory.
The Gravity is the company's latest model. It builds on the new 3T single-axle suspension from TuffRide to deliver a single-axle offroader with impressive offroad credentials. Great Aussie has joined a hallowed list of local builders embracing aluminium frame construction for hardy adventure vans. Along with the robust construction, the van features off-grid living capability and enough room for couples to enjoy in an easily towed single-axle format.
There are two schools of thought in the offroad market. On the one hand, is the mob who wants to take all the comforts of home in a big heavy van, and the other is a crew who wants to keep it simple. Thesuit many travellers seeking an authentic offroad experience. The single-axle van will traverse narrow winding tracks more efficiently and with less body damage than a monster van. You can also expect it will be easier to retrieve from a bog hole or a beach than its larger, heavier alternative. And because it's rated to a maximum 3T ATM, a range of mid-size vehicles suit the Gravity, including the Prado.
