Navigator Features

Navigator's increased dimensions offer more all-round comfort for up to four people while remaining one of New Zealand's most complete, compact motohomes. At 5.9 metres long x 2.08 metres wide Navigator is just as easy to drive and manoeuvre as a large saloon. It's equipped with everything you need and enhanced with a few more options.

We retain the same very practical rear dinette and lounge area of the Compass. The Navigator offers just that bit more space in the dinette seating for lounging about with your favourite book and refreshments as well as a larger bathroom. Explorer's rectangular dining table provides a comfortable entertaining area for four. A larger roof vent/skylight allows in plenty of light and ventilation. We also fit an audio system with stereo speakers.

One of the exclusive features of both Explorers is the low entry to the luton bed above the cab. Navigator goes one better here though. This permanent bed is a queen size measuring 1.5m wide x 2.0m long for those who are a bit taller or like an even more generous relaxing and sleeping space.

It takes just one step up to the large airy space with sitting headroom. Opening windows at each end of the luton bed with built-in insect screens, offer good ventilation. You'll find it hard to find another motorhome with space that matches.

If you’re accommodating four, pull-out slats convert the rear dinette into another bed for two which is slightly wider than Compass. This cleverly concealed system is simple and easy to set-up and store away.

High quality lightweight plywood joinery with a blonded timber finish for the onboard joinery gives Navigator a very stylish and hard wearing finish. There’s ample storage in soft-close galley drawers, cupboards, wardrobe and under the side dinette seats.

Navigator has a very well-specified galley kitchen with a longer bench and pull out pantry. With a gas oven and 3-burner gas hob you have everything you need to prepare any kind meal even including oven roasts. It also features the large Dometic 136L fridge/freezer (12V/240V) which gives you absolute freedom to be off the grid for long periods. Other features in the galley are the same as in the Compass - stainless steel sink with folding hot/cold tap and flush-mounting glass lid, lift-up bench extension, a slimline extractor range hood and generous storage to keep everything stored securely while travelling.

The bathroom is 100mm longer than in the Compass and features a wider, taller door too. Fully moulded, it’s easy to clean and is well ventilated with an opening roof skylight. The Navigator toilet is the latest electric flush, bench style Thetford C400 cassette system. There’s also a corner basin with hot/cold single lever tap and extension shower hose on a slide rail. Navigator adds a mirrored vanity cabinet for additional storage and a useful pull-out drying rack.

Navigator also has fresh water capacity of 80 litres and grey water capacity of 70 litres. Both tanks are fitted with monitors. All Explorer Navigator motorhomes are Certified Self Contained.

The Navigator rear boot locker provides just a little more storage for everything you want to bring along BBQs, chairs, tools, wheel chocks and the like. At 1620mm long x 420mm deep and 530mm high it’s big enough for golf clubs, skis or fishing rods.

Explorer Navigator is ready for you to head off in any direction knowing that it just doesn't get any better.

PRICING

There are so many variables when it comes to pricing a new motorhome. Every Explorer starts with either a base model Compass or Navigator. We find that individual clients request a wide range of individual options from our list of options which makes quoting a price for everyone difficult. There are also component price variations from time to time. The following prices are indicative prices only built on a Ford Ranger Automatic 4WD chassis without any options.

Explorer Compass $140,000
Explorer Navigator $151,000

Please do not hesitate to ask us for a quote refined with your individual options included.

LITHIUM EDITION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Explorer’s optional electrical system delivers better performance and therefore much greater opportunity and peace-of-mind for you to be off the grid for longer.
Lithium batteries can endure up to ten times more charge cycles than the equivalent-sized lead acid battery, can be fully discharged and be recharged in 3–4 hours.
The heart of the Lithium Edition system is a management unit that operates like six separate products; a DC-to-DC battery charger when the vehicle is on the move, a 240-volt 30-amp mains charger, a 30-amp MPPT solar regulator, a starting battery isolator, a load disconnect controller and a battery monitor.
