battery, leather motorhome upholstery
and an innerspring main bed mattress.
The Sherwood is bright and fresh
inside, with contemporary high-gloss
cabinetry, extensive and clever use of LED
lights and a general feeling of quality. Its
fixed rear window plus two opening side
windows at the rear provide a flood of
natural light and, along with a generous
roof hatch, ensure plenty of fresh air.

Living and Dining Room
Compact is what living in the Sherwood
is all about, but don’t confuse that with
cramped. Thanks also to wraparound
windows at the rear you sit in the view when
seated at the dinette. This is one of the little
vehicle’s biggest attractions and because
it’s so manoeuvrable you can easily back
into just about any spot and enjoy the view.
With the bedroom up front, the kitchen
and bathroom in the middle and the dinettecum-second-bed at the back it’s easy for
two people to keep out of each other’s way,

and a great space for a solo traveller.
Apart from the bed the only place to
lounge around is the dinette. It has two
inward-facing sofas and a clever lift-up
dining table between them, which tucks
neatly out of the way in a small cabinet
on the back wall when not required. The
cabinet also has a small table on top for
when you’re just siting back with coffee,
a drink and/or your favourite book.
Both lounge sofas have removable
cushions and hinged bases; the latter lifting
easily to access storage space below.
Overhead is good cupboard space
down both sides and across the back
wall. Although not particularly deep
the cupboards provide invaluable
storage in this small vehicle.

Meals on Wheels
Built galley-style in the middle of the
Sherwood, the kitchen’s two sections
contain the cooker and rangehood,
fridge and cutlery drawer/cupboards on

the kerb side, and the sink plus extra
cupboard space on the driver’s side.
A three burner gas cooker is set in a
small run of bench space bet ݕ
