more vulnerable to stone-strike. If I was being
exceptionally picky, I’d say the town water inlet
on the offside could be shielded too.
Upfront, the van does well on external storage.
There’s also a checkerplate-fabricated box
mounted on the A-frame that also includes a
separate compartment for a small generator,
with jerry can holders either side. However, the
other compartment is taken up by dual 9kg gas
cylinders.
The Terra Sportz is fitted with Al-Ko ESC as
standard, powered via an Anderson plug rather
than through the 12-pin, which is become more
the norm these days.
The nearside of the van has a traditional roll-
out awning – the perfect spot to watch the 28in
Bluetooth-enabled smart flatscreen TV, which
even has a separate sound bar (another new
addition for 2019).

In terms of 12V power, the Terra Sportz is fitted
with two 160W solar panels on the roof, a BMPRO
DC-DC battery charger, and dual 120Ah deep-
cycle batteries.
Other new pieces of external equipment include a
Winegard Sensor HV antenna and decal-matching
16in alloy rims with orange highlights.
TERRA SPORTZ LAYOUT
Designed for two people, the layout is comprised
of a forward north-south bed, nearside kitchen,
an offside leather-upholstered dinette, and a rear
bathroom, with the fridge (and microwave above)
positioned between the dinette and bathroom.
Aesthetically, it is a classy interior – I particularly
liked the purple LED strip lighting above the
overhead cabinetry.
One new feature that really stands out in the new
Terra Sportz is the cabinetry design, specifically
