The Wendekreisen Koru Star 2ST Freedom Campervan is a refined version of the recently developed Walkthrough model. It has been carefully designed to accommodate for more freedom camping, to maximise your time off the grid.
Standard features include an on-board touch screen tabloid system with reversing camera, a hard-wired stereo/TV system, a pull-out pantry, ambient LED night lighting and ample storage.
