RV REVIEW
WHAT SETS THIS LAYOUT APART ?

A caravan ’ s layout is just as important as its build quality . I was reminded of how clever a layout can be when I hitched up the Atlantic Endeavour . Aside from being a fairly easy van to tow , weighing 2160kg , with an unladen ball weight of 205kg , it offers more spacious living quarters than its 18ft 6in external body length suggests . This is particularly noteworthy when you consider the van contains a split bathroom and rear bunks .
INNER GLOW
In my line of work , I see a lot of new caravans . However , the layout inside the 18ft 6in Atlantic Endeavour stood out . It starts with the east-wed bed in the nose of the van ; this configuration sets the stage for a bathroom that ’ s split across both sides of the van , with a Thetford cassette toilet and washbasin on the offside , and a shower cubicle on the nearside , and the two bunks stretched across the width of the van . Each bunk has its own separate locker at the head of the bed , not to mention a reading light with integrated USB charging point .
