The kitchen sits across the nearside wall . While the bench space is limited – which is to be expected – the griller and four-burner cooktop are recessed below , with a hinged section of bench above . The sink offers optional filtered drinking water in addition to the expected hot / cold water mixer tap ( a 28L hot water service is fitted beneath the dinette ).
The Digger 2 has a rear door , aft of the kitchen , which allows for a spacious front bedroom with plenty of room around the queensize bed . You ’ ll find three overhead lockers here , along with wardrobes either side complete with a niche containing a 240V powerpoint each . The multidirectional reading lights come with built-in USB charging points ; however , 12V charging points are included in the niches as well – a good move , I think . And let ’ s not forget that the bedroom features optional 12V fans either side , as well as a mounting bracket for the supplied 24in TV .
As I looked through the van , I noted that each locker door was secured by piano hinges – the strongest way to do it , especially for an offroader . I also appreciated that the dinette was fitted with two reading lights , a 240V powerpoint and a 12V point . Some might prefer for these points to be moved to under the tri-fold table so that cables wouldn ’ t clutter the table , but it ’ s horses for courses .
Overall , it was hard to fault the interior . Aesthetically , it is great . In terms of living space and functionality , it is excellent .
