Description

The Lotus Caravans Freelander EX is a premium Australian-built off-road tourer engineered for genuine remote travel. Built on a heavy-duty G&S supergalvanised chassis with Control Rider independent coil-over-shock suspension, this 19.6ft tandem-axle caravan is designed to handle corrugated outback tracks, creek crossings, and extended off-grid stays without compromise. Lotus Caravans has built a strong reputation in the Australian market for solid construction, honest weight ratings, and genuine off-road capability. The Freelander EX sits in the sweet spot for couples or small families wanting serious touring capability, comprehensive equipment, and a comfortable living environment without stepping into full expedition pricing. With a new retail price circa $115,000 in 2019, this well-maintained example offers exceptional value for buyers seeking proven off-road DNA and modern off-grid systems.



The van presents in near-new condition throughout. Externally, the white and charcoal composite body panels show excellent gloss with no fading, no stone-chip damage, and only minor road dust on the lower checker-plate protection panels. All body graphics and Lotus branding are crisp and intact. The front LED light bar, external awning lighting, and solar-powered motion-sensor security lights are all functional. BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tyres on the running gear show approximately 75% tread remaining with even wear, and the full-size spare (Cooper Discoverer AT3) is in excellent condition. The Hitchmaster DO35 coupling with Checklock system, Dexter electronic sway control, and Breaksafe breakaway unit are all present and functional. The G&S chassis and Control Rider independent suspension components show typical road grime on the undercarriage but no structural damage, excessive corrosion, or leaking shocks. Internally, the island queen bed with tufted charcoal headboard, grey cabinetry, dark marble-look benchtops, and timber-look vinyl flooring are all in showroom condition. There are no stains, tears, or wear marks on upholstery. All cabinetry doors and drawers operate smoothly with no delamination or swelling. The Thetford Caprice MK II oven, Dometic 2-way fridge, NCE microwave, and NCE top-loading washing machine are all clean with no burn marks, scratches, or operational concerns evident from the photos. The bathroom one-piece shower cubicle, Dometic cassette toilet, and vanity with vessel basin are all in excellent condition with no mould, staining, or seal deterioration.



At a realistic auction hammer range of $45,000 to $60,000, this Freelander EX represents strong value for serious tourers. Comparable 2020 Lotus Freelander models are currently advertised between $95,000 and $120,000 on the retail market, positioning this 2019 example at approximately 50-60% of retail for a well-specified, well-maintained van that is past the steepest depreciation curve but still modern in capability. The dual 100Ah Revolution Power lithium batteries, 300W solar array (2 x 150W panels), REDARC Manager 30 battery management system, 350W pure sine inverter, Webasto Air Top 2000 diesel heater, reverse-cycle Aircommand Ibis 3 air conditioning, and dual 95L fresh water tanks (190L total) deliver genuine off-grid autonomy for extended remote stays. The inclusion of all original manuals, detailed service records, compliance documentation, and a comprehensive 136-photo gallery demonstrates transparent ownership and exceptional presentation. For buyers seeking a proven off-road platform with premium equipment, honest condition, and full documentation, this Lotus Freelander EX offers serious capability at a realistic price.
