Watch out for this efficient and stylish Fiat Ducato RHD camper van

Unless you're a keen enthusiast, the name Trakka may not mean anything to you. In fact, it's hard to associate it with the world of recreational vehicles, but you should know that it is a well-known manufacturer of camper vans and 4x4 conversions in its home country of Australia.

In this case, the company has decided to go a step further and explore the camper van segment with a model based on the Fiat Ducato (Right-Hand Drive, of course), which it calls Torino and which is committed to an ingenious distribution of interior space and a self-sufficiency system based on collaboration with the specialist EcoFlow, to spend pleasant days away from civilisation.

We are talking about a 5.99-metre long model, with everything you need on board to enjoy pleasant journeys and no less pleasant stays once you have set up camp. Inside, we find a complete bathroom, a large Smart TV, a double bed and a kitchen with hob, sink and oven, all integrated in an island module next to the large sliding side door.

But as we mentioned at the beginning, the fundamental point on which the Trakka Torino 'pivots' is its 48V electrical system developed in conjunction with EcoFlow. It is integrated as standard into the range and provides enhanced electric capabilities. Based on EcoFlow's modular electric architecture, it offers a single lithium battery with 106 Ah and 5,120 Wh.

Need more electric range? Don't worry, you can add a second and third stackable battery of up to 300 Ah and 15 kWh. The system also comes standard with a 3,600W inverter and a 460W solar charging system.

The advantages of this system are that you have an induction hob as standard and an electric water heater which reduces diesel consumption. It also limits the 'hardware' needed to fully equip the camper, centralising power through a central hub with 240V connections, solar, inverter and charger.

The electrical system also powers a microwave oven, a 150-litre fridge/freezer and a lighting array with LED panels. The result? Maximum efficiency coupled with fewer elements equals more available interior space.

Not to mention some of the options available which, frankly, are quite striking for a camper van of this size. To highlight just a few of them, customers can add an exterior Ninja Woodfire electric grill (with a sliding side table), a dishwasher, clothes washer and espresso machine, plus 32-inch and 43-inch Smart Smart TVs, a portable 4K laser projector with 58-inch interior screen and Starlink satellite internet connectivity.

Mechanically, the entry-level Fiat Ducato Torino is not the most comprehensive option, due to the lack of all-wheel drive and other off-road focused features. Trakka's 48V power system and interior elements are also found in other models from the manufacturer such as the 2025 Akuna, based on the Volkswagen Crafter, and the Jabiru (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter). The Fiat Ducato is powered by a 140 PS 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Last but not least, the price of the entry-level Trakka Torino. In its country of origin, it starts at A$170,000, which at current exchange rates is around £87,000. It is true that this is a respectable amount, but in view of its ability to be self-sufficient, it is an option to be considered.
