RV REVIEW
E2000 RTX TESTED OFFROAD
SUBSCRIBE
Evernew Caravans. Is there any name in
Australian caravanning more well known
and loved? The undercarriage is one of the best I’ve seen
in some time. All components are protected,
and nothing is out of place.
Under its previous owner, Evernew developed
a loyal customer base. The RTX is undeniably a hefty van, with
its Tare of 3150kg, but it does offer a very
generous 850kg payload capacity. Evernew
has opted for Cruisemaster’s 4.5-tonne-rated
DO-45 coupling to suit. While we towed the
van with a D-MAX ute, a better bet would be
a Silverado or similar.
The company dates back to 1963 and has
never really strayed from its roots. In 2017,
this renowned brand was bought by Dani Bib,
and it's safe to say that he is keen to build on
that reputation with the launch of Evernew’s
first all-new model in many years.
HEAVY-DUTY CHASSIS
The E2000 RTX 40 seeks to take on the big
players in the offroad caravan market. It is
built on a 6in hot-dipped galvanised chassis,
with a 2in raiser, with extra supports to
strengthen the entire structure.
Being an offroader, there’s an impressive
cutaway rear, too, and what would an
offroad van be without a serious suspension
system? In this case, it’s Cruisemaster ATX
airbag suspension.
Evernew has mounted a well-built
checkerplate box to the A-frame comprised
of an offside slide-out tray to suit a portable
fridge, space for dual 9kg gas cylinders in the
middle, and a nearside slide-out barbecue.
The nearside also gets a full-length electric
awning and electric entry step.
The RTX 40 has a meranti timber frame and
composite aluminium cladding, including
checkerplate running high up the sides, front
and rear. The joinery outside is done very well.
