The Forte 9+ is designed for ultimate flexibility when it comes to adventuring, and provides the perfect balance of comfort, versatility and offroad capability without skimping on features. The model is lightweight enough to be easily towed behind medium-sized SUVs and full-sized sedans, meaning almost anyone can Escape with Confidence®. And the light weight will also help reduce how much fuel you need to go adventuring, which is part of MDC’s aim to help make caravanning accessible and economical to even more Australians than ever before.

“The Forte 9+ will redefine the way you experience the great outdoors, as this hybrid camper effortlessly blends comfort, style and offroad capability at an unbelievable price point. It bridges the gap between exploration and relaxation, allowing you to create lasting memories and escape with confidence,” said Vaughan Hindley, managing director of MDC.

The Forte 9+ is a great compact offroad hybrid. It’s under 2.5m high when closed and under 5m in overall length, meaning it can fit almost anywhere and still deliver all the features you would expect of an MDC product.

Features include a robust, FEA-certified chassis with lifetime warranty and independent X-TRACK suspension, a fully equipped external kitchen, large portable fridge slide, external ensuite shower, plumbed hot water, diesel heating and a rear-view camera for safety.

As standard this model comes with a massive 525W of solar power coupled with a quality 200Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery to store that precious power.

You’ll also appreciate the impressive 270° free-standing awning which comes with the fully enclosed annex kit. This kit can be set up in just a few minutes and provides up to 12sqm of private living space.

The Forte 9+ weight comes in at just over 1400kg and has a standard maximum loading capacity of only 2T — which helps many avoid the need to upgrade their tow vehicle.
