The storage options are fairly standard . They include a full-width tunnel boot and a storage box fabricated from checkerplate mounted to the A-frame . This storage box has a point of difference , though . Whereas most similar boxes would have an offside and nearside door , perhaps with a slide-out tray each , this box has those doors plus a lid for access from above . The doors also get a jerry can holder each , and I liked that Pacific Caravans had thought to add some checkerplate protection to the gas regulator – not something we see as often as we should .
While the offside storage compartment has a slide-out tray to suit a 2kVA generator , I reckon Pacific could ’ ve fitted one to the nearside , too , since there ’ s a nearby gas bayonet .
The Pathfinder has a reasonable amount of clearance , given that the 6in chassis rails sit atop the 6in A-frame , which runs back to the 3500kg-rated OzTrekker independent coil suspension .
On the underside , you ’ ll find two 95L water tanks and a grey water tank . If you were to take the van offroad or along extended gravel tracks , I ’ d consider first wrapping the PVC in a protective material . It otherwise appears neat and tidy .
The standard 12V system on this van is quite generous . It is comprised of two 100Ah deepcycle lead-acid batteries hooked up to dual 190W roof-mounted solar panels .
