STABILITY IN TOWING
With lighter vehicles and improved vehicle braking, there is a greater need for more efficient braking in caravans. Simply put: if the vehicle is lighter and brakes faster and stronger than the caravan, the caravan inertia will push to a jack knife scenario. The solution is to have stronger and more powerful brakes in the caravan that act as a "parachute" behind the vehicle.
Kimberley have released the most powerful disc braking ever with Lightweight ventilated disc braking and dynamic Kimberley callipers.
As a comparison these are significantly more powerful than the Alko disc system because of a higher controlled hydraulic pressure.
- Using Lithium and Superlight solar achieves Weight reduction of: 60kgs -120kgs : easier to tow, longer range
- Matching Wheels and Tyres for European 120mm PCD standard:
- Match Landrover Discovery 3, 4 & 5 , Range Rover, Touareg, Amarok.
The Kimberley Karavan, a lightweight folding off road caravan that can go anywhere. Kimberley Karavans are unique with their internal shower and toilet, comfortable internal seating and luxury finishes. There is 2.2m of head clearance. Yet they are no wider than a 4WD so can travel absolutely anywhere!
The Kimberley Karavan It is designed to be BOTH self contained and "off-road". One feature that makes this Australian off-road caravan unique is the design of the low drag fibreglass sides and roof with such a low travelling profile. The benefit of this fuel saving is not the saving in fuel cost, but the ADDED RANGE from the standard tanks in regular 4WDs. This ADDED RANGE is so important for you to "go anywhere"!
Kimberley Karavans have a 5 Year Warranty on the Chassis and Suspension Arms... and this warranty transfers to second buyers in the 5 years! Service and customer support is equally important. Kimberley has a Dealer network in 6 States Australia wide, a service network extending to remote areas and a dedicated support staff in Ballina NSW.
Great Australian designs result in both the lightest AND the most compact off-road caravan
that is NOT a vinyl sided pop top for storage!
