RV REVIEW
It ’ s not inordinately heavy at Tare when you consider all that this van offers , in particular all of the optional extras on this rig . It tips the scales at 2640kg , has an ATM of 3495kg , and an unladen ball weight of 255kg .
The nearside is equipped with an ‘ entertainment locker ’ equipped with an antenna and powerpoint for a TV , as well as a large Fusion speaker and a fold-out step at the door . Given the impressive ride height , with the van above the wheels ( no wheel arches intrude into the layout ), that fold-out step is a welcome inclusion .
CLEVER INTERIOR
The first thing I noticed about this layout was the bed . It won ’ t be for everyone , but I quite liked how it was tucked into the offside front corner , as it made room for a bench seat on the nearside , and there ’ s still a double wardrobe and overhead lockers . Simply by offsetting the bed , Lotus Caravans created a usable space on the nearside for a seat that you wouldn ’ t otherwise have . I also liked that the control for the diesel heater was by the bed , so you can warm up the van in the morning before getting up !
