INSIDE THE SALUTE GARRISON!
For what seems to be a decent price,
available through Victorian dealership
Melbourne City Caravans, the 19ft 6in semioffroad
Salute Garrison is ready to roll and,
by all appearances, keep you and your
partner comfortable over the long haul.
INTERIOR LIFESTYLE
The Salute Garrison’s layout incorporates a
full-width rear ensuite, nearside amidships
kitchen, and forward north-south bed.
The dinette’s table can be lowered to form the
base of an additional bed – it’s just a matter of
pressing the button with your foot at the
bottom of the table’s pedestal. But if L-shaped
dinettes aren’t your thing, you can opt for a
cafe-style dinette instead.
To access the storage space beneath the
dinette’s faux leather-upholster cushions,
you’ll need to remove the cushions, which is a
little tedious. Nonetheless, it is a classy setup,
with reading lights, a 240V/12V point and four
overhead lockers. Only three are usable as
storage, though, as the rearmost locker is
home to the BMPRO Genius battery
management system, the regulator for the
dual 170W solar panels that are supplied, as
well as the switches for the hot water service,
the fridge and water pump.
Across the way, you’ve got the fully-loaded
kitchen: an oven, four-burner cooktop and
griller, a stainless steel sink with filtered
drinking water, enough bench space (and even
more with the cooktop’s lid closed), and a
reasonable spread of drawers and cupboards.
