Zone RV are doing some good things in an industry that can be a bit same-same. They are certainly a top line product. I haven't seen the new hybrid but have looked at their larger range, very impressive. I think they have a background in boat building and so have introduce ideas and materials from that industry.

You need to come with a bucket of money if looking at their range. There are a few good testing videos around on YouTube etc including a 2 part video with a hybrid doing the Vic high country.

They are not that far away from you Mark located at Coolum Qld.
I'm heading out to the Brisbane caravan show tomorrow so intend to have another look at there range.

Top shelf product with excellent build quality. Top shelf price as well, but they are earning a reputation as a builder of premium vans.

And they make aome pretty good youtube videos to boot.  I reckon they could give some of the big name presentations a run for their money.

I agree looks like some nice gear. High on my list if looking at a caravan.
But there is no way I'd buy a rear door hybrid or van such as shown by Zone expedition.  Regarding style only..

Such a big open allows fly, mozzies to get in.
 If its a cold night you'll want to shut it. But what happens  when nature  calls.
 Its also very open to the  drivers side so what do you do if its raining or a windy dsy on the beach, who wants a wet AND sandy bed.
Another issue is privacy or the lack of.. where do you change/dress.

Icebox fridge ?


But hey thats just my view.

Ps. If they can handle  something like that i'd look more at.
Pioneer Mitchell or tvan. They go further, offer more options. And the full package not half.

Me I'd love a CC exodus 11
