GORV ’ S GREATEST VANS
The drawbar supports two 4.5kg gas cylinders and the spare wheel . Behind these , you ’ ll find two locker doors , one either side of the van .
The FreedomPlus comes as standard with two 100Ah deepcycle batteries , along with an Enerdrive controller for the dual 80W solar panels on the roof , and a lithium-ready Enerdrive ePower battery charger .
Externally , it ’ s fair to say that this van doesn ’ t offer a lot of facilities . With its rear-door entry , Centaur ’ s thinking is that you ’ ll relax at the back of the van – hence the rear awning . However , an external 12V point and perhaps a 240V point would be appreciated ( perhaps on the nearside ), and a fold-out picnic table wouldn ’ t go astray either .
Though it has a reasonable 12V system , I don ’ t view this van as a long-term free-camping machine . With its freshwater storage capacity of 82L , it offers perhaps two days away from town water .
