RV REVIEW that has three compartments: an upper fridge compartment with the freezer inside, and a lower drawer fridge. Among the highlights: the nearside club lounge, which despite its generous size does not make the layout feel cramped. The front bed is surrounded by overhead lockers and side wardrobes; however, Viscount has not fitted side tables. Instead, ‘niches’ have been cut into the wardrobes – a common layout feature. Each niche has a 240V powerpoint but I’d like them to also have a 12V point. And then there’s the bathroom. It has no windows but, perhaps due to the LED lighting and reflective surfaces, it doesn’t seem gloomy. Customers can choose to swap the positions of the offside shower (which has a durable Perspex door) and the nearside toilet – this would be my preference. SUMMING UP While the new design doesn’t reflect that of the Viscounts of decades ago, the Viscount V3 is a well-priced touring caravan equipped for full- time caravanning or quick weekend getaways. gorv.com.au 39
