The engineering fabrication has been completed and the vehicle was road tested for the first time.  The engineers wanted to know the gross weight at this time of construction.  The weight bridge scales showed a gross weight of 10.2 tonnes. The final wet weight is estimated to be 12.0 tonnes.  The MAN 13.290 handled extremely well with weight over the back axle.

4 x 4 MOTOR HOME LOCKERS

Wildplanet has spent weeks fabricating the lockers. The locker doors open up 170 degrees on gas struts allowing easy access to the enormous storage space. The doors are insulated and are fitted with the same locks as the module hatches. One key opens all the hatches and lockers .
If a locker gets damaged it can be removed and either repaired or replaced as they are bolted to the subframe.
