GORV ’ S GREATEST VANS
The Kombat is a family van . As such , the layout incorporates a separate kids ’ room in the rear , next to a bathroom in the offside corner . A tall wardrobe sits in between , with a front-loading washing machine hidden behind the cupboard door .
The bathroom feels reasonably spacious , and it ’ s undeniably classy , too . The kitchen , meanwhile , features a faux timber laminate benchtop , which matches the dinette table , deep black sink , large drawers , full oven and a cooktop / griller . It does not offer acres of bench space ; however , the hinged lid over the cooktop compensates for that .
Between the dinette and bathroom , you ’ ll find a sizeable 171L threeway fridge and a 25L microwave neatly recessed into the furniture above . The control panel for the Truma heater is nearby .
An aspect of this van that really stood out to me was the wall between the east-west bed in the nose of the van and the dinette , which was fitted as an option for this van ’ s customer . The idea , of course , is to provide a sense of separation and privacy for the parents . It ’ s quite clever .
