NEW TVAN UPGRADE

   At Track Trailer we receive a lot of feed back from our owners. This is recorded and the trends are identified in certain areas. A program to upgrade product specification is instigated. This causes constant minor changes to meet customer satisfaction. Some of the recent upgrades are out lined below.

 

New Tvan kitchen.

   The kitchen retains the functional bench area, sink and cutlery drawer of the old kitchen, but replaces the glass top Cramer stove with a Swift 2 burner stove.

   The benefits of the new stove include:

  • Doubling of the heat output of the burners from 5 MJ to 10 MJ. This decreases cooking times and gives better wind resistance.
  • Wider burner spacing which allows the use of larger cookware – great for cooking for families.
  • New long rear windshield for better wind protection.
  • A removable non-stick BBQ plate for cooking on.
  • One large and one smaller burner (both 10MJ) for more versatility when cooking.

    

 

New Tvan deck leg handles.

   The old type straight deck leg handles have been up graded to new ratchet type handles that allow the handle to be positioned in a downward position once tightened, to reduce the likely hood of clothing getting hooked on them and to allow for easier storage. They also allow for easier adjustment on extremely uneven ground. The rest of the leg remains the same so upgrading older vans is easy.

    

 

New Tvan hand pump

   The Trojan plunger style hand pump at the rear of the Tvan has been replaced by a Lowboy diaphragm pump.

   This gives a more streamlined appearance as they don’t stick out like the previous pump and eliminates any issues of wiring damage in the area below the pump. It also brings the standard pump in line with the optional front tank pump for a more integrated package.

   The outlet spout can be rotated to the desired position for use.

   The new pump also has the added benefit of a hose attachment at the bottom to allow caravan park water to be used directly from this pump instead of the tank water.
