Forte 9+: Small Van. Big Adventures.

The Hybrid That Changed the Rules

A few years ago, when travellers started seeking more from a towable, their needs looked different than before. Vehicles looked different to regular caravan tow vehicles of old. Travellers wanted compact caravans, something easy to tow, easy to store, and easy to take anywhere.

But there was a problem.

Most small vans meant compromise:

  • Less power 
  • Less storage 
  • Less off-grid capability 

So MDC listened, and set out to fix it.

We introduced the Forte 9+ Hybrid Offroad Caravan. A van built to prove that small doesn’t have to mean less.

Built for Freedom, without Compromise

The Forte 9+ was designed to fill a clear gap in the market:

👉 A compact caravan
👉 With serious off-road capability
👉 And full off-grid power

The result?

A compact, Offroad van that’s:

  • Perfect for tight spaces and storage at home
  • Easy to tow, manoeuvre, and park with a huge variety of vehicles
  • Built to go further off the beaten track with its independent coil spring suspension and Offroad chassis with lifetime warranty. 

Because your adventures shouldn’t be limited by size or where your trailer can follow you.

A Standout Feature: 270° Awning with Full Annexe

When the Forte 9+ launched, it introduced something rarely seen in compact hybrids at the time:

A full 270° awning with full annexe for optional set up

This wasn’t just an add-on, it was a game changer.

  • Expands your living space instantly 
  • Creates a full outdoor setup for relaxing or entertaining 
  • Adds serious practicality for longer stays 

Even today, it remains a standout feature that sets the Forte 9+ apart.
