signature ‘ timber look ’ with the addition of twotone locker doors . The glossy , cream-coloured finish provides a small , but welcome , touch of class to the interior .
It involves a couple of compromises , but I liked the M3 ’ s layout . Access to and from the driver ’ s cab is easy and all living ‘ zones ’ are clearly defined .
The adjacent nearside lounge also functions as extra seating at meal times . The tabletop is secured to a couple of rails , allowing it to slide sideways to make room for a matching infill . This not only increases the size of the table , it puts it within reach of anyone sitting on the nearside lounge .
The offside kitchen has a three-burner cooktop , a sink and a drainer , as well as a Dometic oven mounted in the cabinetry below the bench , but workable bench space here is limited . While anyone would prefer more , in a layout that includes so much in a limited space , something has to give .
Directly opposite you ’ ll find a large three-way fridge-freezer with a microwave on a shelf above , hidden by a roller shutter door .
In the rear corner , Avan has fitted a double bed that , to my mind , represents the only other layout compromise – whoever sleeps against the wall will have to climb over their partner to visit the loo during the night .
Finally , the bathroom which , in the M3 , really stands out . Tucked next to the bed , it offers a separate shower , a small vanity and a cassette toilet , with room left over to towel off and get dressed .
