The van also has a generous water storage
system: two 95L tanks and a 65L dedicated
drinking water tank plumbed to a separate
12V pump and water filtration system are
standard. Evernew has also fitted a 95L grey
water tank complete with a bypass valve. Inside, it’s immediately obvious that the RTX
40 maintains the Evernew standard in terms
of fit and finish. No dodgy joins, rough edges
or poorly aligned cupboards. Indeed, the hand-
built furniture, with a high-gloss black finish to
the cupboard doors, looks rather glamorous.
This van also has a top-end 12V system: three
150W solar panels, a 300Ah Enerdrive lithium
battery with DC-DC charger and a 3000W
inverter are all standard fitment. The bathroom, with its nearside shower,
offside cassette toilet, and rear vanity with
cupboards above, is actually quite spacious.
And it’s certainly attractive and well-finished;
happily, it has a solid sliding door with a
downbolt to keep it open when underway.
FIT AND FINISH
Among the features, the RTX has Dexter
stability control, a gas and smoke detector, a
rearview camera, keyless entry, WiTi caravan
alarm system and even a GPS security
system. Did I mention the Intellisat S2 auto
satellite system, high-end Apollo 770 audio
system with four internal and two external
speakers, 4kg Camec washing machine and
Ibis 4 reverse-cycle air-conditioner?

The bedroom has the usual features: overhead
cupboards, side wardrobes, etc., but one
small detail stood out: the gas struts that lift
the mattress base are mounted to reinforcing
timber blocks (finished in silver checkerplate).
This little feature is characteristic of Evernew’s
habit of identifying areas of potential
weakness and addressing them accordingly.
