Diesel Gets You Cooking

Traditionally campervans have used a LPG or spirit stove. TRAKKA have found newer diesel fuelled technology provides a smarter, versatile cooking solution.  The diesel stove is easy to use and it's simple design enables you to comfortably cook inside, not matter the weather outside.

With no gas to source or store and no open flame within the Trakkadu vehicle, the diesel cooktop provides a single safe fuel source. Minimal fuel is drawn from the main diesel tank and the stove is powered from the 12 Volt house battery so you can be in the middle of nowhere for an extended period of time, relying on just the one fuel source.

The ceramic plate is heat adjustable and capable of housing a couple of pots or pans at one time and toasting delicious S'mores.

Circulate

The Trakkadu's pop top roof sleeve is made from PU coated material, making it lightweight, highly water resistant and flexible. The bespoke sleeve features three extra large screened windows, one on either side and one at the front. This allows for plenty of cross flow of air within the campervan and combined with the tilted roof design, hot air can be quickly ventilated out on those hot Aussie summer nights. 

Personalise the amount of ventilation and natural light within the camper with the screened windows. Keep the windows zipped for full privacy or unzip the windows, roll & tuck away neatly for more surround views and open feeling.

Fly Flat: Business Class

Need increased boot space or more from your living area? Thanks to a sliding rear seat system, the Trakkadu provides numerous seating positions for dining, travelling or carrying bulky items. While the Trakkadu features ADR approved seating for four people, two rear passenger seat belts are built into the seat so passengers can travel anywhere along the cabin rails. 

The sliding rear seat system is complete with foldaway headrests for passenger comfort, adjustable backrest and a simple to use bed mechanism. To convert to a bed, simply push one button and the headrests will drop behind the seat, and pull on a lever at the buckle to flatten the bed;  this will meet the back bed platform. To switch the bed back to it's seat form, simply pull the lever a second time.

Swivel Lounges

Designed as a standard within all Trakkadu campervans, both front driver and passenger seats include Volkswagen swivel bases. This means when driving, both front camper seats sit at the same height. To go from touring vehicle into home for the evening, simply rotate from driving position into the main cabin.

Utilising the whole front cab, the Trakkadu offers optimum seating space and comfort for four people. Even with only a couple of people, where you might prefer to sit while dining, meal prepping or watch the optional TV becomes a lot more flexible. The front seats also come standard with adjustable armrests and lumbar support so comfort is ensured when lounging and on extended expeditions.

Pop Top

Over 4 decades, TRAKKA have been perfecting the design of the pop top roof. In the driving position, a Trakkadu roof can be easily identified from the aerodynamic front deflector and low profile, sleek exterior look, together with an integrated side awning. From the inside, the roof is securely locked with two latches for driving. To employ simply use the two integrated handles to push the lightweight roof up as the gas strut assisted lift kicks into gear.

When open, the tilted roof provides exceptional structural integrity in adverse weather as it only lifts at one end. The construction offers superior insulation,encourages air movement throughout the interior and provides over 2.1 metres of standing room for cooking, standing and getting out of seats.

Open Air Galley

An essential part to any campervan is the side roll out awning but TRAKKA go the extra mile when it comes to form and function. This standard Trakkadu feature is not just mounted to the side of the vehicle, but neatly tucked into the roof when driving for both aerodynamics and sleek appearance.

As you set up camp, collect your securely stored winder from the boot and simply wind out the awning. The in-built arms lock to the body of the vehicle for awning stability and positioned so both front passenger door and sliding door can be opened even once the awning it out. Whether its raining or for shade from the hot sun, the Trakkadu awning provides plenty of protection. When its time to hit the road again, simply wind the awning back in.

Flexible Dining

Providing flexibility and practicality both in and out of the vehicle, the Trakkadu multi-position table has been designed to ergonomically serve you whether you’re eating breakfast inside, playing cards in the evening or hosting sunset drinks outside your campervan. With a height adjustable folding leg to thwart uneven surfaces, this table can be moved along an interior or exterior rail as required. 

Offering additional meal preparation space within the vehicle it’s sliding function, ensures you can always enjoy easy access to your fridge and drawers within the kitchen. Further enhancing outdoor living, this multi-use table also alleviates the need to carry an additional camping table. When not in use, this table can be stored securely behind the drivers seat on its side so as not to affect taller driver's seating position.

Mission Control

Forget moving around the vehicle to check important capacities! The Trakkadu Electronic Control Panel is an all-in-one, easy to use LCD touch screen that enables you to test with the push of a button. Check and analyse car and 12 Volt house battery levels with a volt and graphic reading, test water tank level with a percentage and graphic reading as well as check internal and external temperatures. 

When plugged into 240 Volt power or driving, the panel illustrates either the automatic battery charger or alternator is activated. The technology not only allows you to operate 12 Volt system and electric water pump; on exiting and re-entering the vehicle you’re able to turn off/on all the electrics in use at the one time with the press of one button without needing to individually select appliances. Voila.

Smooth Operator

While the Volkswagen T6 Trakkadu is primed for adventure, its advantage is it drives like a passenger car and is just as happy in the suburbs as it in the bush. The 7-speed automatic Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG); standard on every Trakkadu model, offers consistent power delivery, fantastic fuel economy, seamless gear changes and greater control in how YOU want it to drive.  It combines the ease of a conventional automatic transmission with the sporty feeling of a manual transmission.

The DSG has two driving modes: Normal and Sport. In the Sport mode, the DSG extends the gears further and if required, can change down sooner too. Using Tiptronic mode, the gear changes can also be executed manually. The DSG internally consists of two independent gearbox units and the clutch is always actuated completely automatically.

4 to be Sure

Step inside our Trakkadu 400 and you’re well and truly in All Wheel Drive territory. Ideal drivability is achieved thanks to Volkswagen T6’s 4Motion All Wheel Drive system which distributes the engine’s power to all four wheels as needed by continuously calculating how much drive torque should be available to the rear wheels. 

With the more powerful 132kW bi-turbo diesel engine, this campervan offer superior performance and traction to drive easily drive and traverse through conditions that well, aren’t ideal. Think dirt roads as well as steep slippery wet conditions such as snow and ice.
