This dictated some interior changes to the Earthcruiser models, but essentially the current model has similar on and off road manners to the post-2013 range.

They own campers that are technologically more advanced than many other RVs in Australia, which makes them somewhat elite. The idea is that we can put less than totally clean water in our fresh water tank and use this water for showers and washing. The RO system filters this water to 99.9% pure giving us clean, safe drinking water. The system has  its own 10-liter storage tank which is pressurised and we have a second faucet on the sink for the finished product.
