GORV ’ S GREATEST VANS
Other bedroom fittings include 12V Sirocco fans at the foot of the bed , niches in the wardrobes either side of the bed , complete with dual USB charging points .
The kitchen has all of the essential equipment , of course , including a cooktop , griller and oven , a microwave , and a 274L compressor fridge-freezer . Since the van is a sub-18-footer with ensuite , kitchen bench space is limited ; however , there ’ s a hinged section of bench above the cooktop that can be used when the stove is not .
Opposite , the L-shaped , leatherupholstered lounge will comfortably seat two people around the table , which is on a hydraulic leg that can ‘ telescope ’ down to allow the tabletop to form the base of an extra bed .
The rear ensuite is as attractive as the rest of the van – JB has even included a 3kg wall-mounted washing machine above the vanity bench . However , it is a bit of a squeeze around the toilet , which is a compromise resulting from the fact that this is a 17ft 10in ( body length ) caravan .
There are loads of other features and fittings within this van ’ s layout , from the Ibis 4 reversecycle air-conditioner to the piano hinges on each locker door . I also liked the soft-close function given to the drawers .
