CRZRVan’s new K2 Double-Storey Caravan has entered the Australian market with a design that seeks to combine comfort, space, and durability for travelers exploring both urban and remote destinations. Being Australian, CRZRVvan should be pronounced Cee Are Zed Are Vee van; you are welcome. This model combines a tough and ready exterior with a modern white and gold (brass) interior and offers an alternative to traditional caravans by incorporating a second level, which aims to maximize space for a family of up to five silver spooners.
The primary feature that sets the K2 Double-Storey caravan apart is its two-tiered design. From the outside, it bears a resemblance to conventional off-road caravans, with robust materials, six mud-terrain tires, and reinforced edges that suggest readiness for varied environments. Upon closer inspection, the additional height becomes evident. While most caravans focus on sleeping and dining areas, the K2 Double-Storey caravan offers extra space that could be used for various purposes.
Families might utilize the upper level as a children’s sleeping area, giving adults a degree of privacy below. Alternatively, couples might turn the top floor into a lounge or office space, adapting the caravan for both vacation and remote work scenarios.
The interior configuration includes CNC-cut cabinetry with soft-close drawers, memory foam mid-profile mattresses, and LED strip lighting installed in the overhead cupboards and along the kitchen kicker. A 24-inch Smart TV and 12-volt USB power outlets are provided for each bed.
The shower area features an exhaust fan with an LED light, and a domestic cassette toilet is also included. A 20-liter microwave is available, and ABI Interiors brass fittings (including sink, taps, and towel rails) add a premium touch. A Nature’s Head self-composting toilet is offered as an optional add-on. The water system provides 400 liters of fresh water storage, a 65-liter greywater tank, and an external water tap mounted on the drawbar.
The external setup features external LED lighting with clear and amber options for all awning lights, a fold-out double-entry step equipped with step lighting, and a Fusion Entertainment stereo panel. It also includes a slide-out kitchen with an induction cooktop and sink, an external shower, and a drawbar-mounted generator and BBQ storage box. Utility slides are located on each side, with double storage drawers on the driver’s side and a dirty or wet-vented storage compartment on top. All locks operate with central locking, and an external entertainment hatch houses a 32-inch television, so Dad can be happy outside, where he belongs.
On the technology front, the K2 Double-Storey caravan includes provisions for solar power, enabling users to maintain certain electrical functions without relying exclusively on external power sources. This electrical system comprises 800 amp-hours of lithium storage, a 6,000-watt Victron inverter, 2,200 watts of solar capacity, and a 1,500-watt DC-DC vehicle charging setup. The switching is managed by a CZone digital switching system, which features a seven-inch glass display as the central hub and three touch keypads placed throughout the van. An iPad is mounted to the entertainment hatch, preloaded with the CZone and Accuair apps.
The caravan’s aerodynamic design attempts to mitigate the drag commonly associated with taller vehicles, though caution is advised when dealing with low bridges or heavily forested roads. The manufacturer appears to have designed the chassis and suspension to handle varied surfaces, including sealed highways and certain off-road paths. Unfortunately, the K2 is not yet available in the US, but if it were, a buyer would need to invest around $200,000 for the trailer with all the brass bells and whistles.
