The Starvision Adventure Home trailer, with its massive bedroom windows and skylight, is clearly intended to be bought by those who love the outdoors more than they value privacy. Appealing to enthusiastic bird watchers, exhibitionists, and unbridled extroverts, the Adventure Home trailer is essentially a rather basic trailer with limited appeal, except for the three “E’s” mentioned above.
This compact, towable home on wheels is designed to function in moderately challenging conditions while offering a range of amenities that support extended stays away from traditional campsites. Its streamlined construction aims to strike a balance between a sturdy exterior and an interior that features contemporary conveniences, so say the builders.
The chassis is constructed with hot-dip galvanized steel and features a body deadener to enhance durability. It is equipped with an Ark XO 750-Series heavy-duty dual jockey wheel and a Cruise Master DO35 rated at 3.5 tons. A 7-pin flat trailer plug and an Anderson plug are included, and the trailer is stabilized with four legs. It relies on a coil spring, independent trailing arm suspension system with four heavy-duty off-road dual shock absorbers to handle rough terrain. A double spare wheel is provided, and additional rear pole storage is available for convenience.
On the exterior, the design accommodates two 4.5-kilogram gas bottle holders and two jerry can storage boxes. LED lighting is installed both internally and externally. The roof is operated manually, and external storage compartments allow users to stow gear securely.
Inside, the trailer contains a permanently deployed queen-size bed and an internal kitchen area. An adjustable table alongside a club lounge can be converted into a king-size bed, making the trailer suitable for at least four nudists, I mean bird watchers.
A hot and cold reverse cycle floor-mounted air conditioner regulates the interior temperature, while a combined ensuite provides privacy for showering and other personal needs. Three reading lights are available to brighten specific areas of the interior.
A stainless-steel kitchen sink is fitted with an electric water pump and offers ample storage for perishables. Major appliances include a Thetford 4 LPG gas burner cooktop, a 120-liter fridge, and a 14-liter Turma Ultra Rapid hot water system supplied by a 120-liter freshwater tank that empties into an 80-liter greywater tank—the electrical system centers on a Projecta battery management system, supported by two 135-amp-hour lithium batteries. A 400-watt roof-mounted solar panel collects power from sunlight, and a 2,000-watt power inverter offers flexibility for running various devices.
Internal power outlets incorporate USB and 12-volt plugs for charging and running smaller electronics. External outlets include a 240-volt power inlet, a 240-volt charger, and a 240-volt power outlet to accommodate various electrical needs. Both internal and external speakers are provided, while an entertainment system supports DVD, VCD, CD, MP4, MP3, AM or FM radio, AUX, and USB formats.
Pinstriped windows are a minor inconvenience for most overland vehicles, but for the Starvision Adventure Home, those pinstripes would be an absolute nightmare. Our suggestion would be to either cover the windows with a film of plastic or travel only to areas utterly devoid of trees. As this trailer is only sold in Australia for about USD 45,000, may we suggest a trip to the Nullarbor (literally meaning “no trees”) in southern Australia. At least there, privacy is almost guaranteed. So, is the Adventure Home a practical travel trailer? Well, it all depends on what you consider practical—you do you.
