The kitchen gets a 184L threeway fridge-freezer with microwave above , a four-burner cooktop , griller and oven , one under-sink cupboard , a small locker beneath the oven , and a few drawers and overhead lockers . Tango has also given this Stevie Series a full-height cupboard between the kitchen bench and the fridge . It is separated into three separate sections with separate slide-outs , so you only need to open the one you need . In some vans with similar designs , sometimes the ply fascias of these sections bind on each other when all are opened at once because of the weight of the open slide-out causes them to sag . In the Stevie Series , Tango has provided separate doors to each section , rather than permanently-fixed ply fascias , which gets around this issue .
The 18ft 6in Tango Stevie Series has a north-south bed up front , surrounded by overhead lockers and wardrobes , each with a niche complete with 12V and 240V points . Lifting up the bed , I was interested to note a small ‘ cubby ’ in the front-offside corner of this storage space . It ’ s actually a purpose-built surround to protect part of the gas-electric hot water service , with an access door built in .
The 12V system is comprised of dual 100Ah AGM batteries . As standard , the van has a BMPRO BatteryPlus 35 battery management system with the OdysseyLink display . Further , Tango has given the Stevie Series a BMPRO MiniBoost DC-DC charger , which boosts the charge from the tow vehicle in order to top up the van ’ s batteries more efficiently – it ’ s excellent equipment .
