For its price point, the V3 covers more than the
basics. There’s a full-length roll-out awning, a
picnic table, a 12V point and a couple of speakers.
But there’s also a reversing camera that’s wired
ready to be connected to the tow vehicle.
A couple of 9kg gas cylinders are mounted up
front, and there’s a tap, protected by a stoneguard,
mounted to the nearside of the A-frame.
In terms of the van’s self-sufficiency, you could
expect to live comfortable for a few days away
from civilisation.

INSIDE THE VISCOUNT
Overall, the fit and finish of the Viscount V3 is of a
high standard. I saw no rough edges or unsightly
joinery. However, one problem was actually
pointed out to me by the manufacturer: the
water filter cartridge under the sink was blocked
by the hot water service. With a spare cupboard
directly adjacent, it was a mystery as to why the
water heater was put there, but I’m told it will be
rectified on future models.
The interior certainly fulfils the manufacturer’s
mission to bring the Viscount name into the
21st century. The cabinetry is constructed of
15mm CNC-cut lightweight ply finished in glossy
laminate. There’s also a generous amount of
storage options, from the extra-wide, two-shelf,
pull-out pantry, to the full-height pantry next to
the fridge, to the many overhead lockers.
There are a couple of points of difference
between this and comparable vans, though
