Let ’ s start in the kitchen . The combined stainless steel sink and three-burner cooktop would be unheard of in an Aussie-built van – and I liked it . It fit the tight bench space well . And then there was the Thetford Duplex oven – a separate unit sitting beneath the sink . The kitchen offers a few drawers and lockers , as well as pantry space . Bench space is obviously limited but the cooktop does feature a glass lid that could be used .
The bathroom is in the rear offside corner , and there ’ s more to this space than meets the eye . It has the usual equipment , including a hand-held shower rose and a fixed-position cassette toilet , but where is the washbasin ? This is the clever part . The top mirror above the toilet hides an array of shelving , while the lower mirror hides a foldaway vanity unit . Lowering it will reveal a sink with flick-mixer tap – a very smart use of space .
I was also struck by the inclusion of an offside club lounge . True , it ’ s not huge , but it will seat up to four people and the table can be lowered to create the base for a spare bed . Directly opposite , you ’ ll find a Thetford 175L threeway fridge-freezer and Camec microwave . A spacious wardrobe has also been fitted to the nearside .
