It produced the first hybrid Vision RV five years ago.The body was converted into an imported caravan and assembled at the Coolum Beach plant in Queensland.Based on his experience in producing about 400 Vision RVs and his computer design knowledge, Sunseeker has taken on a new challenge. The opportunity to produce a new caravan at a plant dedicated to Brisbane has come.
The new Merlin 20-foot-6 model is a couple-only caravan made of composite materials. It was named Merlin just like Ma.The latest Merlin has amazing basic specifications to attract new buyers.
We abandoned the traditional method of relying on heavy chassis and veneer lightweight shells when building off-road vans and improved anew. The body panel is a 28 mm thick panel, made by joining a 1.6 mm thick Italian glass fiber outer shell to the center of the insulating foam. The weight has become lighter.
The front and rear walls and roof are made of an integrated composite material from the A-frame to the rear bumper. The floor is made of a single durable woven polymer panel to maximize durability. The latest digital switching in caravans requires complex electrical wiring. It is important not only to accurately arrange the wiring, but also to make it easier to maintain in the future.
If you look at the Sunseeker and Vision RV websites, you can see the trend of white and light-colored caravans. Black or grey might look a lot dirtier off-road. The Merlin caravan with white and black up and down is neat. Overall, it's well balanced, and graphic decor adds charm.
The bottom skirt of black raptor coated glass fiber is transformable to fit a modern style. Damage caused by stone or gravel can be easily repaired off-road. The large window in front of the caravan has a movable cover. Reinforces lighting and ventilation around the bed.Behind it is a tunnel-type trunk.The kitchen, which is provided as an option, opens on a slide.
The outdoor kitchen makes camping life much easier. At the back, there is one spare tire, an external shower, and a pump and bar.Generally, the pump is hidden and difficult to access, but this space allows you to clean the filter regularly and empty the tank. The door is located at the back. Double stairs, handles, and triple security doors were also installed.
The founder of Sunseeker Chris advises buyers to "choose the smallest caravan that suits your needs"."At 6.25m (20ft 6in), Merlin is the perfect long-haul caravan for a family of two. Merlin is 30cm longer than a typical couple caravan, but it doesn't need to be towed by a large truck. It also provides sufficient amenities and indoor space.
It is a structure that separates the front door and the bedroom, so privacy can be secured. It is a popular design that can utilize space efficiently.The bathroom is on the right side of the front door, so you can easily enter and exit from the outside. The traffic leading to the caravan will also be reduced.It also has plenty of space, storage, washing machine, and molded shower booth.The dressing table mirror is inclined downward, which is useful because you can see almost the whole body.
The wide kitchen countertop is equipped with an induction cooktop, a 34L large-capacity microwave, a grill, and a convection oven. The cafe and dining room also offers an open view through a generous legroom and newly installed flat glass, double windows and tinted windows.The calm gray color contrasted with white gives a fresh and cheerful feeling. Hidden LED lights add a comfortable atmosphere.
Added modern sensations such as cupboard clasp, convenient charging port, lighting and appliance digital switch system. Merlin 20'6 contains a basic package that can be used independently for about a week on an open field without power.The 190L fresh water tank is standard as well as the 100L gray tank.
Solar and battery composition are impressive.The roof has 880W solar panels installed. It charges a 600A lithium-ion battery with a 180A charger and a 3000W inverter. Sufficient power is available for continuous use of the 224L refrigerator and electric cooker. Two 9kg gas supplies allow outdoor barbecues and water heaters to be used for two months.
The distance was gentle on unpaved roads and was able to tow up to 100 km/h on paved roads.The weight of the tolerance is 3,500kg, so most of them can be towed by mid-sized SUVs or pickup trucks. The Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, and Range Rover are recommended as the most suitable SUVs.
Merlin caravans are perfect for couples with stylish designs and ample space for long-distance travel, including in the rugged outback.The base price is 129,990 Australian dollars (about 116.6 million won). Adding additional options, it boasts a reasonable price in the highly competitive off-road market at 134,185 Australian dollars (about 120.4 million won).
Sunseeker Mullen is a generous-sized couple caravan suitable for long trips, and thanks to its sturdy structure, you can enjoy the attractions of anyone's dream outback to your heart's content. In addition, it also has a carefully designed power system for outdoor camping.
