Hybrid Caravan | Discover the Verve Hybrid Caravan

DESCRIPTION

The is the culmination of the Pioneer Campers’ journey over the last 25 years. The story starts in 1997 in Perth with the design of a light weight flip-over camper. This design was refined over time and took a strong market position in 2012 with its full sheet-metal construction.

Sensing a shift in the market, the Pioneer team began developing the Mitchell (2015), a hybrid super camper, beginning the journey towards a Hybrid Caravan. The Mitchell was awarded Camper Trailer of the Year in 2017 and developed a strong and loyal following. In 2020, Pioneer Campers was purchased by TRACK (Trailer) with the intention of continuing the Pioneer Camper evolution.

The TRACK team of engineers worked tirelessly throughout the COVID shut downs to capture and transform the essence and spirit of the Pioneer Camper into the Hybrid Caravan now known as the . The namesake, Verve, meaning vigour, spirit and/or enthusiasm.

The has all the rich history and pedigree of the previous Pioneers. Look at the lines, colours and iconic wheel arch flares. Stand back and admire the strong, but lightweight, insulated sheet metal body. Admire the underpinnings of the custom Trak-Two independent trailing arm coil suspension with twin shocks.

There’s so much to love about this truly unique Hybrid Camper.

Starting weights are without additional options and with empty water tanks.

Also available in North/South queen and singles – see below

Featuring twice the bench space of its smaller counterpart. The stainless-steel benchtop utilises advanced sheet metal techniques for a premium feel, including rounded edge. The powder coated, predominantly aluminium body makes access to storage a breeze, incorporating many drawers for the storage of all your kitchen needs.

The Premium Kitchen boasts a Thetford 3 burner (2×1.5KW, 1×2.5KW) glass topped stainless steel cooktop with Piezo ignition and matching stainless-steel sink with flick style tap, draining board and cutlery drawer located below. The kitchen utilises a lock in / lock out handle which accommodates single handed operation and slides on ball bearing runners. The integrated windshields are deployed by simply raising them into position. We’ve even fitted a bottle opener so you won’t have to go searching for your keys!

Our emphasis on outdoor cooking and preparation can be clearly seen by the positioning of the external kitchen in relation to the pantry (middle of awning) offering maximum protection and convenience.

Large external pantry (~115L) with deep well-thought-out shelves to accommodate a broad variety of food packaging. Featuring gas strut assisted door, LED light and compression seals with lock.

It’s a great place to keep cooking aids – paper towel, spices, oil as well as standard pantry items. Within minutes, it feels natural reaching up to the panty to get the things you need.

The bed is standard as an East/West orientation to maximise living space, dinette seating and allow for easy configuration of the bunk option. However, this is fully customisable and can be a full queen size bed in the North/South configuration or twin king single beds with a step through.

The overhead lockers are large and offer generous amounts of space for pantry goods. The bench height is the same as most household benches to ensure comfort while using. This is assisted by cut in kick panels (room for your feet) allowing you to stand closer to the bench. The rangehood is neatly concealed behind the overhead locker doors for a clean and consistent look.

Additionally, you can select which water tank you are using from inside the van, right at the kitchen.The internal kitchen space has a broad variety of options and configurations that allow you to fully customise the space swapping storage for cookers, microwaves and an internal fridge.

Redvision® has been used to give you access to all the major appliance and onboard systems. Using the screen or your mobile phone (via Bluetooth app) you can switch inside and outside lights, view energy charge / consumption, check water capacity, turn on the inverter and easily deactivate the fridge(s) for storage, activate on board water pump and so much more.

This Australian designed and made electrical system accepts and regulates charge from solar, the tow vehicle and an external 240V source. All circuits have fuses and there is a master power switch for storage.

Batteries types and numbers (max 4) can be changed and upgraded, without the need to change any charging components.

The Verve has premium Revolution Batteries specified as standard because they are engineered and extensively tested in the field. Revolution is an Australian family company that has decades of hands-on experience.

The Batteries are ultra-light at 11.5kg (standard Eco) and have Australia’s most advanced state of the art Battery Management System (BMS) inbuilt to ensure peace of mind, when it comes to battery protection and safety. Plus a 3-year replacement warranty.

The overhead lockers are secured with strong magnets (no locks required) and offer a surprisingly large amount of space. Towards the bed head end the lockers morph into quick storage for smaller items.

In the case of a queen bed in the North/South configuration there are also two bed side consoles that offer generous storage.

Above door side seating you’ll find open storage with access to power for charging on the go. Below this is also perfect real estate for a map or photo board.

Any seat location on the ‘Ensuite’ side of the van can also be upgraded for additional storage. A full height wardrobe can be installed alongside the shower while a low 2-drawer benchtop system can be located in lieu of any seat.

The table position changes to accommodate seat location.
