And Campertrailer Australia Magazine recently awarded the TVAN ‘Off Road Camper Trailer of the Year 2011’ ($35k – $45k category).

WHAT’S INCLUDED

At Horizon Campers we stock each TVAN with all the basic equipment to allow a family of four to travel in confidence. Put simply, customers only need to bring their own chairs, pillows, linen, food and personal items. And we also have a range of optional extras to make your trip even more enjoyable (see Rates & Bookings page for prices).

Standard items include:

  • Triangular sail awning with poles, pegs and guy ropes
  • Rear insect screen for fast overnight stops
  • Mattress protector
  • Window curtains
  • Door matt
  • Food grade hose and tap fittings for refilling the water tank
  • 1 shovel
  • 2 saucepans, 1 frypan, 1 kettle, 1 toaster
  • Cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery for 4
  • 1 tea towel, washing detergent, sponge and dish brush
  • Broom, dust pan and brush
  • 1 x 12v light
  • 1 x 15amp extension lead (to charge batteries at Caravan Parks)
  • 2 gas cylinders (2nd one full, front one could be partially used)
  • Fire extinguisher and smoke alarm
  • Electric brakes with independent onboard brake controller

CHARGING THE TVAN BATTERIES

Horizon Campers order TVAN’s with the optional battery upgrade and roof mounted 50W solar panel. It is the responsibility of the hirer to manage power consumption and prevent discharging of the batteries below 50% (the intelligent battery monitor provides this information). We have travelled for up to 2 months without using external power to charge the TVAN batteries, relying only on the Anderson Plug and solar panel.

If you’re running a fridge from the TVAN, it is strongly recommended to have an Anderson Plug fitted to the tow vehicle or hire the optional generator to recharge the batteries when necessary. Without an alternative power source (Anderson Plug, generator or 240v supply at Caravan Parks) the batteries will discharge to the minimum 50% within 3 days in warm conditions. The onboard battery charger will automatically charge and cut out when the 15Amp extension lead is connected to the TVAN’s external power socket.
