Vista RV uses Redarc gear to manage the 12V system . The Redvision battery management system by Redarc comes standard in the Vista RV range . The display is placed within arm ’ s reach of the entry door . This system allows the user to keep track of the batteries ’ state of charge , water levels and even control the lights and various accessories from their smartphone . There are two 105Ah AGM batteries as standard , but you can option up to lithium .
An array of cupboards is provided across the rear , along with some bench space and a sink . And in case you ’ re wondering , yes , the portable toilet storage box can be accessed from inside , potentially saving you from a cold walk outside should nature call during the night .
Just as it is with the exterior , it is genuinely difficult to fault the interior of the Crossover . It is clearly the product of many years of development , refinement and customer feedback .
SUMMING UP
The Crossover XLI could easily be towed by a vast range of 4WDs , or even some family station wagons , another big tick in this little weapon ’ s favour . It presents as a well-sorted , well-engineered camper . If you look after it , it will more than look after you .
