“ Dham and Dula are very welcoming and professional ,” Graham said . “ He runs very good quality control within the factory . They made buying a Hilltop a great experience .”
One of the van ’ s highlights is unquestionably the particularly large bathroom in the rear . It is equipped with seemingly endless storage space , a large bench and vanity , complete with a frontloading washing machine , on the offside , a corner shower and more . It ’ s one of the largest bathrooms you ’ re likely to find on a 22ft 6in van , and that was a major ‘ selling point ’ for Graham and Marianne .
“ We live permanently in the van so a large bathroom was a necessity for us – it helps us to stay longer on the road ,” Marianne said .
The rest of the layout is , clearly , very liveable for two people . The kitchen is large and the dinette is comfortable . The pantry , though , is particularly noteworthy . It stretches almost the height of the van , with one main cupboard door that conceals a series of individual drawers . These drawers feature a soft-close mechanism – just give the drawer a gentle nudge inwards , and the soft-close mechanism will pull it inwards the rest of the way and lock it so that it can ’ t be accidentally opened by road undulations , etc .
