no joins and it’s a massive 21kg lighter than the
stainless number. Gason has also fitted a steel bash
plate at the rear of the water tank. A 70L auxiliary
tank can be fitted as an option. The nose of the camper is all business. It has a
storage pod for firewood incorporating a couple
of separate compartments, with two 8.5kg gas
cylinders either side.
The rear pod, which lowers to become the rear deck,
is no longer black. Instead, it’s now only available
in white to match the rest of the camper with the
added benefit of reflecting heat. Mounted to the lid of yet another storage bin is an
80L solar panel. This lid is designed to be removed
so that, with the aid of an extension lead, you can
move the solar panel according to the position of
the sun – a nice touch.
The Mitchell is built on a hot-dipped-galvanised
chassis riding on 16in alloy wheels. The shell is built
from marine-grade aluminium and fibreglass.
The external kitchen is all class. It slides out from
the nearside, with part of it swinging longitudinally
so that it’s secured against the side of the camper.
Meanwhile, just in front of the kitchen is the pantry
which, in our model, was optioned with a larger
lower pantry drawer. Forward of the pantry is a
slide-out tray for a portable fridge (not included).
