BRUDER EXP-7 REVIEWS

IN BRIEF

Equipped for extreme remote travel
Sleeping for up to six
Indoor/outdoor kitchen

Only a year or so after the release of its range-topping all-weather caravan, the EXP-8, Brisbane builder Bruder has unveiled yet another model. The new EXP-7 — unsurprisingly given the name — sits between the remarkable EXP-8 and the more modest EXP-6 but retains the expedition-capable genre of the brand.

Bruder is a Brisbane-based manufacturer that has become a success story worldwide. Integral to the success is how brothers and company owners Dan and Toby take product testing to unprecedented levels. I'm confident there isn't a caravan builder anywhere that tests across thousands of kilometres on five continents, at heights up to 10,000ft, in conditions ranging from freezing to the hottest desert regions and at speeds of 240km/h.

Our PT (pop-top) model review van is the first in production and features a patented lifting roof powered by an electronic scissor action for effortless deployment. Extra clip-on skirts are an option to improve thermal insulation on the pop-top. Still, a fixed roof GT version is available for customers expecting to travel in extremely low temperatures.

The new Bruder follows the style of previous vans
