There are three bunks stretched across the rear wall of the van , each with a reading light with an integrated USB point for charging devices . Often , when a van is fitted with three bunks , head room feels limited ; however , in this van , there is loads of space for each kid to be comfortable .
A club lounge sits along the offside wall , facing the kitchen . A couple of dual 240V powerpoints have been fitted to the wall either side of the dinette , and the reading lights here also have integrated USB points ; however , I ’ d prefer to have these points in the leg well of the dinette so as to keep cables out of the way .
While the black sink and tapware are classy , it ’ s the bench space and general layout of the kitchen that appealed to me . Tango has neatly built a microwave into the overhead cabinetry , while a large fridge-freezer sits between the dinette and bunks .
One of the highlights in The Clan is the split bathroom , which sits between the main living quarters and the parents ’ bedroom . A fullymoulded fibreglass shower is built into the nearside , while the toilet and vanity is on the offside . There ’ s even room for a small toploader washing machine in the vanity . Aesthetically , it is great .
A small point , however . The bathroom ’ s ‘ accordion style ’ door folds vertically towards the nearside when closed , which is fine , but I noticed that these folds impeded the under-bench kitchen pantry from fully opening .
