Check out this new AWD motorhome from Vanlife by Roadtrek

Vanlife by Roadtrek has released a new off-road motorhome designed to tackle Australia’s bumpiest roads in comfort.

Based on the VW Crafter, Vanlife by Roadtrek’s brand new RT 4Motion is a top-of-the-range model motorhome explicitly designed to suit Australian conditions. Offering both luxury and off-road capabilities, the prototype model is available to view at South Yarra Volkswagen Commercial Centre.

Choose between a medium or long wheelbase

Not everyone is a long wheelbase (LWB) fan so Vanlife by Roadtrek also offer the choice of a medium wheelbase (MWB) model. The RT 4 Motion prototype at South Yarra Volkswagen Commercial Centre is the LWB model with an internal measurement of 4.2 metres. This gives travellers plenty of room to add two additional passenger seats, a kitchen, a large double bed and a fully equipped bathroom.

Hit the bumpiest of Australia’s roads

Starting with the current model VW Crafter, additional features include a suspension lift, side rock deflector, underbody armour, bush bars, flared wheel arches and off-road alloy rims and tyres. Combine this with the 4Motion and you’ve got a motorhome that will hit the most remote parts of Australia.

Your van your way

Now comes the fun part. Choose from four different layout options in a choice of finishes and colours. Focus on the things that are important to you, whether that be additional passenger seats, larger dining space, beds, a roof deck or extra internal storage for your golf clubs. For those that need to work on the road, you’ll want to ensure WiFi and great connectivity. Basically, these vans are custom-built just for you.
