RV REVIEW
I loved that the Luxe 675 comes with a bike rack ( for up to three bikes ) on the back of the van . Other external equipment includes a full-length roll-out awning , a couple of speakers , a fold-down picnic table , and a 12V point . There ’ s a 50mm ball coupling and a tap plumbed to the water tanks on the A-frame .
The external joinery is very neat and tidy – I spotted no unsightly gobs of silastic or low-hanging wiring underneath . For this van ’ s intended purpose of mostly blacktop touring and holiday park stays , it covers all bases nicely .
SHINING INTERIOR
I really couldn ’ t fault the interior fit and finish . The layout is comprised of a front bed for the parents , an amidships kitchen on the offside , a large club lounge on the nearside , and a rear kids ’ bedroom with three bunks and a separate bathroom .
The main bedroom has wardrobes either side of the bed and a few overhead lockers . However , it really needs a 12V point either side , too . There were a few occasions when I needed to charge my phone and , to do so , had to plug it in to the 12V point that ’ s supplied for the 22in flatscreen TV ( using a cigarettestyle adaptor ), or directly to the USB point in the stereo system .
