RV REVIEW COME ON IN There are eight layouts in the PEX range, with body sizes from 5.5m to 6.9m. The layout in our van doesn’t break new ground; however, two full- height cupboards, one either side of the van, add a sense of separation between the living quarters and the bedroom. The cabinetry is through-bolted to the roof and walls, their structural rigidity enhanced by additional aluminium framing and fixing. The bedroom is quite standard; however, I appreciated the fact Coromal has fitted ‘his and hers’ drawers to the underbed storage space. You can still lift the mattress to access the batteries, charger, etc., but for day-to-day items, just slide open a drawer. Much easier. The bathroom occupies the full width of the van. It includes an offside cassette toilet, a nearside shower cubicle, and a vanity in between. The wall separating the bathroom from the main cabin is a one-piece fibreglass-polystyrene composite panel fixed to the floor and roof, a design calculated to increase the overall rigidity of the van. Overall, the interior is smart, stylish and comfortable. Speaking of comfort: each dinette lounge features a slide-out ‘tray’ to which a matching cushion can be fitted for an instant footrest. The bonus with this design, over and above the common ‘snap-up’ footrests, is that there’s space below the slide-out for a drawer. SUMMING UP In its price category, the PEX is up against some stiff competition, but it nonetheless deserves a good, hard look. This is by no means a run-of- the-mill caravan.
