minimal amount of bench space; however, the
lids over the round stainless steel sink and three-
burner cooktop could be used, as could the
nearby dinette table.
As part of the redesign, Avan has tried to
maximise cabinet storage – in a clever move,
the company has hidden a cutlery drawer within
another drawer. Just open the main drawer to find
a slim drawer within.
The bedroom sits between the kitchen and the
rear bathroom. At the press of a button, the
offside slide-out glides into position, taking the
east-west bed with it. While there is little in the
way of side wardrobes, the cabinet at the foot of

the bed affords a lot of storage space. What’s
more, it houses a 42in flatscreen TV that gently
rises from within at the press of a button.
The bathroom is as stylish as the rest of the
motorhome. However, it is on the narrow side.
Having said that, every caravan and motorhome
layout requires a compromise or two, given there
is a limited space to work with.
A final word on the bathroom: I loved the fold-out
laundry hamper next to the toilet – it’s another
example of how Avan has tried to optimise cabinet
space throughout this rig.
In the Luton peak, the Ovation M7 Slide-Out has
another double bed, which lifts out of the way
when not needed, and is easily lowered on gas
struts when it’s bed time.
I noticed no rough edges or imperfect joins in this
van, and I was especially pleased to note that the
cabling that runs through overhead cabinets had
been professionally covered.
