Ecotourer Off-Highway Reviews
- Excellent
Posted on Aug 25, 2009
Pros: I can only tell by looking in the mirror that I am towing a van. Excellence of design inside, outside, strength and suspension are excellent.
Cons: I mounted the wall mounted wardrobe on the floor making more bench space,easily done and I prefer the more open look of the van without the wardrobe on the wall.
Overall: Excellent customer service from Caravan Court Springvale. Extra effort made to get us our van on time. Extras supplied at fair price. Excellent after sales service, after the first around Australia tour, a couple of small detail problems and some damage due to a small accident we had and the full service was completed for us for what I felt was a very reasonable service charge, I was thrilled, had payed more for service of our previous van. Returning now from our second around Australia tour in our Eco Tourer, slipstream, off highway, caravan, still thrilled with it and it is as new condition.

Pros: Easy to tow and quick set up very happy with the concept.
Cons: Protection of the electric brake wires as we lost ours on the Gibb River and better protection for the water tank also some damage whilst doing the Gibb Rivers.
Overall: Very happy with the Ecotourer Off High Way what is next for the Eco Tourer as I am thinking of up grading we bought the off road with 2 single beds and changed this in a queen size with an exellent mattras. would look at the shower version wich was not available when we bought our van. we have travelled wide and only found some small problems. and these were mainly water proofing issues on the roof hatch. Unless we find somthing similar we will be upgarding to the next version of the Ecotourer. I could not find the Ecotourer on this years Brisbane camping show so not sure if they still build the Ecotourer.

Pros: Love the ease of set-up. We find the best view & set up just for lunch. Also we had a slight change of plan & got them to install a kingsize bed across the whole end of the van with superb mattress. Easily the most comfortable travelling we have ever done.
Fridge & electrics work well - could have used some LCD lights but the solar panel seems to provide plenty of power anyway. Love being able to go to unpowered camping sites & still have all the comfort.

Cons: The family all want to borrow it!
Overall: An excellent buy. So much better than a camper trailer or pop-top van. Wonderful cross-ventilation & insulation. We will keep ours for years to come I'm sure.
Certainly gets lots of comments & interest from people as we travel.

Pros: Fibreglass construction - clean & strong. Telescopic mechanism, rather than conventional poptop. Ingenious layout. Fold-up towbar for easier storage.
Cons: Lack of additional step for off-highway version. Could easily install mirror on inside cupboard door. Why not provide for conversion of dinette into bed? Door catches need additional magnets. Ride leveller should be provided.
Overall: Designer has provided excellent unit for consumer who wants sleek, compact, easy to tow, tastefully appointed van with all mod cons such as shower/toilet, Tv, air con etc , yet folds down to aerodynamic shape to tow.

Pros: Love the elegance! and the simplicity -stylish! Love the ease of towing -and ease of living in it. Love it's strength and durability. Love the minimal effort needed to keep it cleaned whilst on the road.
Overall: We've owned our van for 18 months and tow it with an '05 Kia Sorrento. We've travelled in the highlands of Tassie, gone to Kangaroo Island, had a trip to Innaminka via Bourke and Tiboorburra and have just returned from another trip, 22,000kms. all over WA. We have deliberately chosen the roughest roads as we don't like the boring bitumen. Our van has taken to the dirt like a duck to water - and it literally loved the river and creek crossings on the Gibb River Road!!

I am considering purchasing an Eco-Tourer and as I live in NSW I am would appreciate some feedback regarding the servicing and are there many points of service in NSW or does your van always have to go back to Vic. Thanks Kris
