What we like
- ✓ True off-road suspension with adjustable air ride
- ✓ Heavy-duty self-sufficiency package is standard, not optional
- ✓ Marine-grade composite walls handle corrugations and remote storage
- ✓ Five-year factory warranty matches the build quality
What we don't
- ✕ Starting price puts it above most mass-market off-road competitors
- ✕ ATM of 3,500 kg restricts the tow-vehicle pool to 200/300-Series, F-Truck and similar
- ✕ Long build-slot times (often 9–12 months at order)
- ✕ Fresh-water capacity (190 L) is modest given the off-grid positioning
