RV REVIEW
way as to optimise the sense
of space. I also liked that the
BMPRO display was located
alongside the 240V circuit
breakers, a 12V powerpoint
and the switches for the
240V/gas hot water service
inside in an offside bedroom
cupboard.
While many of the traditional
Jurgens caravans I’ve seen
have rather dark bathrooms,
the Solaris’ bathroom is
bright and cheerful, thanks
to a nearside window and
glossy cabinets that reflect the
light. There’s a central vanity,
a nearside cassette toilet,
offside shower, and a wall-
mounted front-loader washing
machine. I did wonder,
however, if it would be
worth sacrificing the cabinet
alongside the toilet to provide
more legroom.

SUMMING UP
There’s no denying that, in
appearance, the Solaris and
the rest of the Jurgens line-up
are worlds apart. It has the
mainstream appeal that the
rest of the Jurgens line-up
lacks. Don’t get me wrong,
the Lunagazer, Sungazer,
et al, have their place, but
with the development of the
Solaris, Jurgens can now cast
a wider net as it competes for
a larger slice of the market.
