There are two kinds of camping enthusiasts. Those who rely on old-school camping methods and pitch a tent on any flat surface they please, and others who ditch the idea of a four-season tent and go rogue with their off-grid and off-road trailer. I am of the latter kind. And for folks like me who crave the thrill of venturing into the unknown, Queensland-based van maker ‘On The Move Caravans’ has designed a compact yet robust camping trailer to conquer the most challenging landscapes with ease.
Dubbed Crossfire 4.7, the timberless and fully off-road trailer is crafted from automotive high-tensile steel, ensuring unparalleled strength and resilience. The chassis comprises of independent wishbone suspension with dual airbags and 12-inch electric brakes that ensure exceptional stability and control, even on the roughest terrains. The trailer is also equipped with off-road stabilizer legs and a DO35 off-road coupling that offers a smooth ride when navigating uneven terrains.
As aforementioned, Crossfire 4.7 trailer features a woodless body. With wood being eliminated from the construction, one need not worry about decay and rotting as well. The core structure comprises one continuous piece for the floor and roof and single-piece walls, all secured with full stainless steel fixings. This robust design, coupled with black high-strength body jacketing, ensures durability without compromising weight or structural integrity.
Another USP of the Crossfire 4.7 trailer is its smooth ventilation. The trailer boasts automotive-glazed glass windows and a door with a security screen. Together, these elements not only allow air and light to permeate the interior but also offer a picturesque view of the outdoors.
Before we move inside, it’s worth noting that Crossfire 4.7 akin to other trailers being launched nowadays, features an external pantry and slide-out kitchen that facilitate convenient outdoor cooking, while an awning provides shade and protection from the elements. The outdoor kitchen comes with a three-burner gas stove and sink. It is loaded with Bluetooth speakers for entertainment and a reverse camera for enhanced safety and maneuverability.
Inside, the Crossfire 4.7 features a zero-timber furniture construction. Some of the notable furnishings includes soft-close drawers with metal runners, leatherette upholstery, and a queen memory foam mattress, ideal for sleeping couples. The metal construction not only offers durability but also contributes to a comfortable and luxurious interior environment.
Other amenities that can be found inside the trailer are the kitchen and bathroom. Hosting a sink, a 105-liter fridge and a two-plate induction cooktop, the kitchen is quite functional as one would expect inside a camper. The bathroom on the other hand packs a sink, shower and a Cassette toilet.
If you crave off-grid adventures, the Crossfire 4.7 camping trailer comes equipped with essential utilities like a thermostatic valve for climate control, an instant continuous hot water system, and substantial 200-litre fresh water and 100-litre grey water tanks respectively. The electrical setup features a ‘Projecta Intelli Battery Management System’ paired with a 200Ah lithium battery and dual 200W solar panels, ensuring ample power for appliances and devices.
