How Custom can an Offroad Grit RV Caravan Be?

Offroad Grit Escape Series Couple Van Under Construction

When it comes to designing the perfect off-road caravan, one size definitely does not fit all. At Offroad Grit, we understand that your adventure isn’t just about getting from point A to point B — it’s about creating a space that fits your lifestyle, needs, and vision. Whether you're an avid adventurer, weekend warrior, or full-time traveler, customisation is key to making your van truly feel like home on the road. But how far can we take customisation with an Offroad Grit RV?

The Escape and Enduro Series: A Focused Approach

For those who like to keep things simple and straightforward, our Escape and Enduro series offer a great starting point. However, there’s a practical limitation due to the design of the wheel arches. These models are built to handle rugged terrain with ease, but their floor plans are a bit limited, making room for the necessary structural reinforcements. The wheel arches can impact how the interior space is used, so the options for layout are somewhat restricted in these series.

That said, these models still offer giver you great options within their more defined floor plans. You can add all the essentials you need for comfort, whether that’s a kitchen setup, a comfortable bed, or space for your outdoor gear. With their focus on efficient use of space, these off-road vans are perfect for those who want durability and utility without too many frills.

The Extreme and Eco Series: Designed for Flexibility

For those seeking maximum flexibility and design freedom, look no further than the Extreme and Eco series. Both of these models are built on a truss chassis, which provides a completely flat floor, giving us the freedom to design larger, more open spaces with more floor plan options.

The flat floor design is a game-changer, especially for those who want a more spacious interior or need specific layouts like a center ensuite. Whether it’s a spacious lounge area, a full kitchen, or a layout with separate living and sleeping zones, the truss chassis allows for a more open and customisable design, giving you greater freedom to shape the interior of your van.

Custom Additions to Make Your Van Truly Yours

When it comes to custom features, the sky’s the limit. Offroad Grit RVs can be designed to suit your specific needs, whether that’s for comfort, convenience, or off-road functionality. Some of the most popular custom additions we offer include:

• BBQ Slides: A must-have for those who love cooking outdoors, these slides make it easy to set up a BBQ wherever your adventure takes you.

• Two Air Conditioning Units: Stay cool no matter where you are. With the option to install two air conditioning units which we do see in a lot of Family Vans, you'll always have a comfortable environment, no matter how hot it gets outside.

• Additional Storage: Whether it's for outdoor gear, tools, or personal belongings, additional storage options are always a plus in an off-road van. Customise your storage solutions to ensure you're never without the essentials.

• Huge Offgrid Power: Getting off the beaten track is one thing but to do it for extended periods of time is another and that's why we can tailor an off grid setup for your power consumption

These are just a few examples of what can be added to your Offroad Grit RV. Whether you want a particular type of bed, a built-in outdoor fridge, extra solar power, or specialised off-road suspension, we can work with you to create the perfect setup.

Understanding Your Limits: Tow Vehicle and Payload Capacity

While customisation offers endless possibilities, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. As much as we can design your van to meet your needs, the tow vehicle and payload capacity are key factors in how far we can push the design.

Your vehicle's brake towing capacity will play a key role in determining which series of van you choose, as well as how many optional upgrades you can add. The towing capacity dictates how much weight your vehicle can safely handle, which directly affects the size and design of the van, along with the range of custom features you can incorporate. It’s important to ensure your vehicle's towing capacity aligns with the weight of the van and any additional upgrades you want to fit, so you can enjoy your off-road adventures with confidence.

Additionally, the payload capacity plays a critical role in how much you can carry inside your van. While customisation allows for more equipment and luxury, the total weight must stay within the limits for safe travel.

A World of Possibilities

At Offroad Grit, we believe that your off-road caravan should be as unique as your journey. Whether you choose one of our Escape, Enduro, Extreme, or Eco series, we provide a wide range of customisation options to meet your specific needs and desires. From structural layouts to luxury features and off-road gear, there’s virtually no limit to how we can tailor your caravan to suit your adventure.

However, always keep in mind that while customisation is vast, the capabilities of your tow vehicle and payload limits will define the practical limits of your build. With thoughtful planning and collaboration, we can design an off-road Caravan that perfectly balances your vision with the realities of safe towing and travel.
