RV REVIEW
Yonder Caravans has made excellent use of the back of the van . Three bunks are positioned in the offside corner , each with a fan and reading light with USB point . You could opt for two bunks instead ; however , even with three bunks , each still has plenty of head room . The mirrored door of the bathroom opens to a very attractive area . I liked how it was laid out – although the space isn ’ t huge , the bathroom is equipped with everything you ’ ll need .
EXTENSIVE EXTERIOR
Externally , the Yonder Wanderer has a tough appearance . Whether that ’ s because of the acres of black checkerplate ( literally covering half the sides , back and front ), or the green aluminium cladding over the meranti timber frame , is hard to say .
A 6in A-frame runs the length of the van . Yonder has then added 6in main rails on top , giving this van a decent ride height .
Many of the external features seen here are optional extras , and if I was purchasing this van , I ’ d at least opt for the pull-out Bush Tucker kitchen and the SOG ventilation system fitted to the toilet cassette at the rear .
Here ’ s why I liked the kitchen so much : it is fitted inside the tunnel boot , out from under the awning where it should be . It ’ s a selfsupporting unit , so there ’ s no need to add legs . Further , it includes a separate pull-out tray above . Why is this useful ? Well , normally when a kitchen is fitted to the tunnel boot , it takes up all the storage space on that side . This extra tray mitigates that somewhat .
