RV REVIEW
The layout is visually impressive and very liveable . The amount of standard equipment found inside is quite generous as well . There ’ s a four-burner cooktop , griller and oven in the kitchen , a 188L Dometic three-way fridge , a microwave , a reverse-cycle airconditioner , a Bluetooth / MP3 stereo system complete with speakers inside and out , a 24in TV with AntennaTek antenna , and more .
On the 12V front , Kokoda has fitted the Force 2 with dual 100Ah deep cycle batteries , which have been mounted to the offside chassis rail behind protective checkerplate . A reasonably generous 340W worth of solar panels have been mounted to the roof , too , while in a locker above the bench that hides the washing machine , you ’ ll find a BMPRO Genius 30-35 battery management system , along with a 30A solar regulator .
If I was to point out some areas for improvement , I ’ d nominate the vast amount of silastic used to seal up the cabin entry / exit points for plumbing and the exposed screw heads on the bathroom bulkheads . That said , the interior does a lot of things well – I particularly liked that piano hinges were used on all locker doors .
