Australia tends to produce some of the sturdiest camper trailers in the world. Many of them never wander outside the domestic market, but at least a few are slowly working their way into the hitch of American adventure rigs, with models from brands like Patriot and Offtrax traveling the Pacific Ocean. Track Trailer’s rugged Tvan teardrop comes up to date, traveling from the long standing stomping grounds of the Australian outback to the equally dry and rugged no-man’s land of the American Southwest.

One of the major hurdles in bringing trailers from Australia to the US is rebuilding the electrical system to US specifications. Track’s job is made easier by the fact that the Tvan lineup includes the option of a state-of-the-art Redarc electrical system.

This centralized command system replaces individual switches and monitors with a centralized display and accompanying mobile app for controlling and monitoring functions such as lights, batteries, water tanks and power outlets. Outlets are now 120 V instead of 240 V, and the American-spec Tvan also includes a 30 A shore power charger, a 350 W inverter, a 120 watt roof-mounted solar, and a DC-DC charger .
