RV REVIEW “ IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW BETTER, YOU'D SWEAR THE WIRING WAS BEHIND THE WALL. Such is the high standard that if anything lets the kitchen down, it’s the lack of bench space. However, having catered for a family of five in kitchens with this common problem, I know that it’s just as easy to use the dinette table or the glass lid over the four-burner cooktop (a griller and oven is standard, too). The L-shaped dinette comes with the usual LED reading lights and overhead lockers; however, in one locker is the RV Wi-Fi system that’s included with this van. The rear bedroom is available with two or three bunks, each with its own reading light and 12V point. A large cupboard is fitted to the rear wall and I can’t complain about the storage space here, especially when you consider there’s also storage room under the bunks, accessible by a couple of floor hatches. 08 \ ” That leaves the bathroom. In the offside corner – behind the dinette, effectively – it comes with a cassette toilet, separate vanity with washbasin, and a separate shower cubicle. If you’ve ever used a combo bathroom with teenagers onboard, you’ll appreciate the privacy that this bathroom layout affords. ALL IN THE FAMILY The van rides on a 6in chassis with 6in A- frame. The suspension is a standard loadsharing leaf-spring setup, with 16in alloy wheels and tyres. The van gets two 95L water tanks protected by galvanised steel sheeting, as well as a grey water tank. Much of the plumbing is unprotected beneath the van; however, this is not an offroad caravan.
