Introduction: Forerunner RV

The Forerunner RV by Design RV Australia is a testament to luxury and innovation in the world of RVs. This comprehensive review delves into the various aspects of the Forerunner, covering its exterior and interior design, technical specifications, and the overall camping experience it offers.

Taking Luxury to a New Level

Design RV Australia has invested significantly in cutting-edge facilities and a skilled workforce to produce exceptional caravans. Their commitment to providing luxurious and safe options for caravan enthusiasts shines through in the Forerunner.

Forerunner Exterior

The exterior of the Forerunner is a blend of functionality and aesthetics. It boasts a galvanized chassis with various configurations, including straight hollow axels and solid 2.5T beam axles. This ensures stability on the road. The A-frame tap with protection, drop-down stabilizer jack legs, and a break-away safety system enhance safety during your travels.

Galvanized wheel arches, stoneguard protection, and leaf spring suspension contribute to the caravan’s durability. The Forerunner comes equipped with a large jockey wheel clamp, Supagal Australian-made chassis, and a choice of light truck tires or all-terrain tires on alloy wheels. Electric brakes on all wheels (except in Design 1-1) ensure reliable stopping power.

More about the Forerunner Exterior

The caravan’s exterior is not just about durability; it’s also about comfort. Fully insulated roof and walls, quality roll-out awning, and double-glazed push-out European-style windows with integrated blinds and ‘midge-proof’ flyscreens provide a cozy and secure camping environment. The black external trim and front window with protector shade (included in Design 8) add a touch of elegance.

The Forerunner also incorporates practical features, such as a fully galvanized lined front tunnel boot with large access doors on both sides and checker plate protection on the front, sides, and rear. The aluminum composite gloss cladding adds to the caravan’s aesthetic appeal.
