This van does particularly well in terms of its internal storage space . In fact , I was surprised to find a full-height pantry ( with two separate cupboard doors ) on the offside , facing the nearside fridge . Rather than fitting this pantry with slide-out shelving , Nova has sensibly opted for individual internal shelves . I say ‘ sensibly ’ because the space in this area is a little narrow – a slide-out pantry would ’ ve been a tight fit .
The rear bathroom is surprisingly spacious . Before stepping inside , I half-expected to find a combo shower / toilet . To fit a swivel cassette toilet , full vanity and fully-moulded fibreglass shower into a van such as this , without the living space feeling cramped , is a neat trick that Nova has pulled off quite nicely . What ’ s more , there ’ s even an ( optional ) wallmounted washing machine .
There are a few things about the bed area worth pointing out . Because of the east-west orientation of the bed , this van is equipped with just one wardrobe ( at the foot of the bed ); however , it also comes with a niche complete with 12V and 240V powerpoints .
The slatted bed base lifts on gas struts easily enough and I was impressed with the storage arrangement here , though some of it is occupied by the hot water service .
