Underneath , the Kakadu Wanderer gets two 95L water tanks , both of which are fitted forward of the axle set .
Nothing about the van ’ s underside struck me as untoward , given this van is built for onroad adventures .
Finally , on the offside , just forward of the wheels , two 100Ah deep-cycle batteries are mounted to the chassis rail inside a steel box with checkerplate fronts . As standard , the Kakadu Wanderer gets a decent amount of solar – 300W , in fact , in the form two separate 150W roof-mounted panels .
STEP INSIDE THE WANDERER
The rear-door Wanderer has a conventional layout that incorporates a front queen-size bed , a nearside dinette , offside kitchen , and an ensuite in the back .
The bedroom offers plenty of space either side of the bed , three overhead lockers , side wardrobes with niches ( each with a 12V and 240V point ), large windows and hatch above the bed .
The dinette , meanwhile , is of the cafe style , with tri-fold table , 240V and 12V point , reading lights and three overhead lockers . The dinette can be swapped to an L-shaped variety , depending on the customer ’ s preference .
The kitchen offers a lot of general storage options . It is equipped as standard with a four-burner cooktop , griller and oven , a stainless steel sink , numerous drawers and overhead cabinets , a stainless rangehood , and a microwave neatly recessed above the 185L three-way Thetford fridge-freezer .
The bathroom is home to an offside cassette toilet , central vanity unit and a fullymoulded fibreglass cubicle on the nearside . There ’ s plenty of space for linen , despite the top-loader NCE washing machine provided as standard . In fact , the entire presentation of the bathroom is of a high standard .
