Across the nearside, the Silverton is equipped
with a four-burner cooktop and griller, loads
of general storage space, sink, etc. I liked that
the main drawer had been designed with a
special ‘recess’ within so that it wraps around
the sink plumbing.
I also particularly liked the hinged bench
extension that can fold across the entrance.
This extension piece otherwise sits vertically,
out of the way.
Bench space throughout is generous, with the
kitchen bench extending all the way into the
bedroom. Speaking of which, the main bed
sits within an offside slide-out that opens at
the push of a button above the entryway.
Finally, being a C class unit, the Silverton
comes with a double bed in the Luton peak.
The foam mattress is certainly comfortable,
and I appreciated the inclusion of a cargo net.
I was a bit uncertain about the aluminium
ladder provided by Avida. It did the job and
held my weight. But, frankly, it felt
somewhat wobbly.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to fault the
internal fit and finish of the Silverton.
Although there were a few fairly minor details
that bothered me, the company’s decades of
experience is evident in the joinery and
cohesive design.
With USB points, shelves, LED lighting,
overhead cabinetry and even a large smart
TV mounted to the offside wall at the foot of
the bed, it is truly a comfortable area. The
slide-out even contains a slimline Thetford
141L fridge.
Across the rear of the Silverton is a large
bathroom, incorporating a fibreglass shower
and a vanity with room for a washing
machine under the bench. There’s a large
mirror and a few other convenient inclusions.
