The Mars 13 packs the luxuries and off-road capability of the Mars 15 Deluxe into a compact, go-anywhere hybrid built for couples and small families. Style, comfort and genuine off-road ability in a package that sets up in under five minutes.
It comes loaded with inclusions usually reserved for much larger vans — a Dometic Freshjet air conditioner, Dometic CRX110 internal fridge, external stainless steel slide-out kitchen with 4-burner stove, internal ensuite, king-size bed and single bunk. Underneath it all sits the Mars robust independent suspension and a heavy-duty one-piece hot-dipped galvanised chassis — ready for whatever the track throws at it.
