- The ladder is integrated and stored in mycube in the
350mm height.
|
|
|
- Can be fitted
to low profile roof racks that are close to roof of car for
integrated “low profile”
|

away from bed.
|
|

sewn as standard. These screens are proven in Australian conditions.
The Side windows give a clear view outside form the bed if inside
window flap is open.

|
- Flooring
material on roof rack is designed to give maximum insulation on
underside of mattress. The material is honeycomb alloy with air trapped in the honeycomb pockets.
|
| |
- The Optional
Dilectric Membrane Heater is an industry first and is fixed between
the mattress and the flooring material. It has a 12V connection and a
timer / controller inside. It uses just 1amp of power.
