With its PEX range, Coromal is aiming for an
‘automotive’ finish and build quality. And to that
extent, I think they’ve largely succeeded.
Underneath, there are some exposed cables
and plumbing; however, they’re all tucked up
quite high, though I’d love to see the rear grey
water tank’s outlet protected. This is an offroad-
capable van, after all.
Up front, Coromal has fitted a checkerplate
storage box comprised of a slide-out tray on
the offside for a portable fridge or generator,
and another slide-out tray on the nearside that
contains two 9kg gas cylinders. A jerry can holder
is mounted to the front. One small complaint: the
leading edge of the offside tray’s door tended to
contact the body of the van, making it awkward
to slide the tray completely out.

“THE PEX IS BY NO
MEANS A RUN-OF-
THE-MILL CARAVAN.”
The only issue I had with hitching and unhitching:
the jockey wheel’s handle tended to bind on the
van’s handbrake cable – a small issue that didn’t
otherwise impede things, beyond sparking mild
frustration.
Add to all this corner brush bars, a full-length roll-
out awning, a couple of speakers, a fold-down
picnic table, a nearby 12V point, and you’ve well
and truly got the makings of a well-thought-out
caravan. I didn’t mind the wind deflector, either.
