Access to the bathroom and bunks gets a little tight due to the position of the dinette table ; however , Atlantic has cut the relevant section of the table on an angle to facilitate better access .
You ’ d be forgiven for assuming this van ’ s kitchen lacked bench space . Not the case . In fact , there ’ s a decent amount of it at the leading edge of the bench , with room left over for a stainless steel sink and four-burner cooktop with griller .
While the kitchen isn ’ t lacking in storage options , it ’ s worth pointing out that the lower cupboard adjoining the front bed is home to the hot water service .
The dinette has the expected 12V and 240V points ; however , I ’ d consider relocating them to the leg space so as to get your laptop and other charging cables out of the way .
Speaking of this bed , there ’ s only one wardrobe , given the east-west configuration of the bed . But I liked the storage space beneath the mattress . The mattress base doesn ’ t lift on gas struts , so it is a little fiddly to lift it up , but the space beneath is well organised .
As standard , the Endeavour comes with a single 100Ah leadacid deep-cycle battery along with a BMPRO battery management system and a single 170W solar panel , so there ’ s scope to upgrade later on if you need to . Our van , however , was equipped with a dual battery setup , with an Anderson plug nearby .
