YOUR RVS drinking water tank as well. At the back, with two spare wheels on the bumper, they had an extra support fitted. The tank for the diesel heater fuel lives back there and there's an outside hot and cold shower. The huge tunnel boot runs right across the van and there's a light at both sides. A Weber Baby Q lives in there among other things, sitting on a drop-down table when ready for use. A gas bayonet for the barbie is close at had. OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING Another hatch reveals provision for the telly to be used outside and there's a 240V and a 12V outlet inside the hatch – very handy for charging mobile phones and things. Yet another drop-down table is handy for outdoor picnicking under the large awning, which comes complete with walls and privacy screens. Completing the outdoor hatches is a generator storage area that doubles as storage for hoses and leads. BACK INSIDE The telly, of course, is on a swivel bracket that allows viewing from in bed or from the seats. The kitchen has a full oven and cooktop with three gas burners and one electric hob. There's plenty of bench space and the ample cupboards and walls are nicely finished in white. There's a full-height AES fridge-freezer, and a spacious shower and the toilet are found at the back of the van – and even a washing machine as well. The dinette table folds up out of the way when not in use and there are a couple of small cupboards in the wall under the table. There's also 240V and 12V outlets in there so it's easy to use laptops or tablets on the table. LIGHT UP There's mood lighting inside, an outside lamp near the door and probably a lot of things I've missed, such as the powered TV antenna that doesn't have to be wound down for travelling and the solar panels on the roof, plus the extra folding panels under the bed. Graham and Allana are set-up for a great travelling lifestyle and I wish them well as they continue their adventures. By the way, did I tell you that Allana is practising towing the van on a five-acre block they own near their home? gorv.com.au 27
