Why everyone will soon be talking about Offline Campers’ new Solitaire

We take a look at what Offline Campers’ all new Solitaire has to offer!

South Australian manufacture, Offline Campers are set to introduce Solitaire next month, a larger and more luxurious hybrid pop-top model, available in both a 14ft and 16ft version. Building on the award-winning formula from their previous models, Raker, Domino and more recently, Ryder, the all-new Solitaire brings something new to the game that everyone will soon be talking about – a unique integrated electric-opening ensuite extension.

Owner and designer, Sam Reynolds says, “With more inside space, it’s nice to be able to wake up, have a shower, make a coffee, reply to some emails, all without stepping outside yet. When travelling, I like to ease myself into morning”.

Clever integrated ensuite extension

The integrated ensuite is an electric opening extension that allows full internal access to your toilet and shower while still retaining a small camper footprint. The toilet is designed to stow away at point-of-use with next to no lifting needed however, Offline says that for now, they are being a bit tight lipped about this protected design given how proprietary the concept is.

New owners of Offline Campers’ Solitaire will be able to choose from either a traditional cassette or composting toilet, and the shower is slated to deliver 10L/minute via a hot and cold mixer with attached grey water storage. Regardless of your shower and dunny preferences, the ensuite looks set to be surprisingly spacious with a width of 1.8m and decent head height.

Offline Campers says there will be up to three ensuite options available on the Solitaire, and that by designing it this way, they are able to keep the towing profile compact to allow for greater offroad ability in a smaller package. All without sacrificing internal space and weight.

Speaking of weight, you shouldn’t need to fork out for a beefier 4WD for this one unless you’re getting around in a Jimny or a Wrangler (and only if you’ve loaded your camper to the gills for the latter).

Offline Campers’ Solitaire specs 14ft – 16ft

• Body length: 4500mm – 5100mm
• Width: 1800mm
• Height: 2350mm
• Tare: 1500kg – 1600kg

Getting offroad

All of Offline Campers previous models have been designed to handle Australian tracks and the Solitaire appears just as capable with upgraded Cruisemaster ATX airbag suspension as standard, high clearance and steep departure angles, a nimble dry weight (1500kg), rear recovery points, ARK X0750 jockey wheel, lower stone protection, 12″ electric brakes and the ability to vehicle match your wheels up to 35″.

The interior

Different layouts will be available but in general across both Offline Campers’ 14ft and 16ft Solitaire models, you’ll get a north/south innerspring queen bed with under bed storage, a kitchenette, café lounge with table, floor mounted air-con and a diesel heater.

Outdoors and off-grid living

Being a hybrid style camper, cooking and entertaining is alfresco style with a 180 degree fast awning (walls available), stainless kitchen, 95L fridge/freezer, pantry/kitchen storage and plumbed gas and hot water.

In the spirit of heading outdoors, anyone in the market for this kind of camper will most likely be camping remote at some point. With this in mind, Offline Campers’ Solitaire can be built with up to 800W of solar, up to 600Ah lithium, up to 340L of water and as we would expect from a modern camper, three point charging and intuitive power controls.
