Shelter Outback

Solar panels and a battery are a great way to camp completely self-sufficiently. The Outback comes with solar panels on the pop-top roof as standard. They charge the battery that powers the 12V circuit in the caravan. This lets you use the lighting, water supply and compressor fridge without external power. How long for depends on the battery and the weather, of course.

Would you like one or more 230V sockets that run off the battery? We can install an inverter for that. Discuss this option with a Kip advisor.

Once you're on site, the large Bigfoot stability feet keep you stable anywhere, on soft sand in the dunes as well as on boggy ground. The large surface (200 x 180 mm) and cross ribs stop the feet from sinking or slipping, so the caravan stays safely and firmly in place. On top of the convenience and comfort, the Bigfoot stability feet give the caravan an even more rugged look.

First of all, the sidebars are robust and therefore shock-resistant. Their large tube diameter and wall thickness make them strong and resilient, yet light. The sidebars keep debris from the road away from the caravan, so they protect it against minor damage. And they look extra stylish too. To complete the rugged design, the Outback also has large tube handles at the rear and roof rails that match the sidebars and run from the roof down to the front.

With the Outback, everything is different from the ground up. It has a fully raised, heavy-duty chassis, specially developed for tougher use. The raised chassis gives you more ground clearance, ideal when you head off the beaten track. That pothole in the road is no longer an obstacle, so the Outback takes you to the most unique places. The chassis is made of galvanised steel, yet it stays remarkably light. Thanks to the heavy-duty chassis, the maximum permitted weight is 1,000 kg. That gives you no less than 340 kg of payload (minus the weight of any extra options you choose).

The Shelter Outback has tinted windows all round, which give it a tough yet stylish look. The tinted glass also limits the view from outside, so you get more privacy. And the dark windows reduce UV radiation, which keeps the inside cooler in summer.

The Outback has the latest insect screen and blackout system on the windows all round. You choose exactly how much screen and blackout you want by locking the system in any position. We optimised the blackout itself too, so you can make it completely dark if you like. The system is also shock-resistant and stays firmly in position, even when you touch or bump it.

The biggest advantage of a compressor fridge (compared with an absorption fridge) is that the outside temperature has less effect on its cooling performance. Even on hot summer days, your food and drinks stay nicely chilled. Thanks to the 12V system, the compressor fridge also runs on the caravan battery. The compressor fridge holds 65 litres.

The Shelter Outback has the latest Shelter interior, which you also find in the Shelter Plus. So on top of all the extras, you still get the standard 2-metre bed, the indoor/outdoor kitchen, generous headroom, floor heating, room for a portable toilet and the wood design interior with herringbone floor. Enjoy extensive comfort while keeping the pure camping feeling.
