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.
