RV REVIEW
Our review van weighed in at 2606kg Tare , which I felt was very fair considering the size of the van and all that it offered . I had no issues when towing and , as always , I was pleased to note that sway control was included . When towing the van , I did not use any load-levelling equipment , but it sat very nicely behind my MU-X .
RECLINING IN STYLE
As appealing as the exterior of the Pear XX3 Silver + is , the interior is particularly attention-grabbing . First , the choice to fit recliners rather than a traditional dinette is a winner . There is still a fold-out table for meals , and the storage system afforded by the absence of a traditional dinette is brilliant .
While the kitchen doesn ’ t offer loads of bench space , it contains all the gear you ’ ll need , from a sink with filtered drinking water , to a full cooktop , griller and oven , an under-bench pull-out pantry , a 175L Thetford compressor fridge / freezer , and a 23L microwave .
The bedroom gets a couple of Sirocco II fans , large bedside wardrobes with space for hanging clothes , niches complete with 12V and 240V powerpoints , and a particularly neat storage solution under the bed . It is all neatly edgebanded and , honestly , I think it is a much better use of space than the plain empty space you ’ ll find under the bed of most similar caravans .
