This bathroom includes a vanity with a
reasonable amount of cupboard space –
and even a front-loader washing machine
– a cassette toilet, and a fully moulded
fibreglass shower that’s separate to the
rest of the bathroom.
Indeed, the bedroom and bathroom setup
is reminiscent of what you’d find in much
larger vans.
Amidships, the Kombat is fitted with
an offside L-shaped dinette that, as we
discovered, will comfortably seat two adults
and two young children. Within one of the
dinette’s overhead lockers, Everest has
centralised most switches and controls,
including the 30A solar regulator (two 170W
solar panels are standard) and BMPRO
Genius battery management system.
Within arm’s reach of the dinette is the
Truma iNet controller. The iNet is a special
interface that allows the user to wirelessly
control Truma devices, including this van’s
onboard gas heater.

Between the dinette and bathroom is the
182L three-way fridge/freezer. Nothing
unusual here, but I liked that the aqua
facia of the fridge colour-matched the
acrylic splashback and the door of both the
bathroom and the shower. It’s touches such
as this that tie the interior together, lending
that extra professionalism you’d rightfully
expect in such a major purchase.
Now, there’s not a sweeping amount of
kitchen bench space; however, the hinged
section of benchtop over the recessed
cooktop helps.
The secret to this van’s impressive living
space is in the front east-west bed. Some
vanners would prefer a north-south bed,
for obvious reasons, but for my money this
setup wins every time. In the Kombat, it has
allowed for the features and layout that
you’d find in a 22ft-plus rig.
