ANYONE AT ALL INTERESTED IN THESE OFF ROAD VANS OR ANYTHING PRODUCED BY BRUDER I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE A LOOK AT MY WEBSITE CREATED TO INFORM OTHERS AS TO MY OWNERS EXPERIENCES.

Many van manufacturers claim to make the ultimate off road van that nothing else surpasses.

The Bruder EXP-6 doesn’t need to make these claims; in fact Bruder hardly advertise. Knowing that the serious seeker will find them and when they do they will quickly realise this is the real deal. There simply is no better off road van in THE WORLD. The majority of Bruder Vans are sold to discerning buyers in Australia, North America, Europe and the Emirate States who have done their homework and realise this fact. Go visit bruderx.com. But, the Bruder is really built for Australia’s harsh conditions, with the best articulated suspension and chassis on the market, 12 inch vertical travel difference between front and rear wheels (unheard of in any other van), adjustable tow weights, best tracking behind tow vehicle and the highest insulation ‘R’ rating on the market anywhere. Remote controlled variable height air suspension adjustment with 12 inch travel. Full mono cellular epoxy construction using European injected composite (this means no joints or use of any aluminium extruded connectors etc between panels) makes the body the toughest on the market.

Unfortunately my Bruder has never been used, (never slept in, taken on trips or used in anyway). It was purchased for the benefit of my unwell, but very adventurous late wife who sadly has just recently passed away from her illness, thus the reason for this sale.

My off road van has all the extras available and then some.

We did equip the Bruder with an efficient custom boat loader and outboard motor loader which are included in this sale. A new custom composite 3.7m 'Enlightened' boat (enlightenedboating.com), a new Suzuki 20hp 4 stroke motor, and a new Mangrove Jack fully collapsable boat trailer (mangrovejack.com) plus custom stowage all weather bag (road registered and weighing only 38kg) can also be included in the sale for below replacement cost, for an additional price. As mentioned there are many more items and features added to the original Bruder so feel free to contact me to discuss and for further details.

Yes alas Kate decided to leave our our world for another unfortunately and untimely, at least for us. Thank you for your kind words. She was so looking forward to some great adventures with this van.

Hi Charlie
So sorry to hear this, did you manage to sell your Bruder as I am currently looking for a second hand one as I just can’t afford new.
A long shot I know as this post was a good while ago now but you never know…
Kindest regards
Chris
