RV REVIEW
The 21ft 6in Panda is equipped with a spacious rear bathroom complete with an under-bench washing machine , nearside shower , offside cassette toilet , and an excellent linen storage system .
On the technology front , it offers the excellent BMPRO Trek digital control panel , which allows the user to control the lights , water pump , check the battery state of charge and more . There ’ s also a BMPRO battery management system with OdysseyLink , which allows all that information to be sent directly to an app on your phone .
TIMBER OR ALUMINIUM ?
The ProRV Panda is built atop a 4in SupaGal chassis with a 6in A- frame . Because our van had the Bush pack , it rode on 3.3-tonnerated independent coil suspension with 16in wheels and 12in electric drum brakes . While our van was framed in meranti timber , customers can opt for an aluminium frame . I ’ m fairly agnostic on this issue – both have their advantages – but it ’ s great to have the choice .
Up front , there ’ s a storage box on the A-frame complete with dual slide-out trays . Two 9kg gas cylinders are fitted in front , and let ’ s not forget the fresh water tap on the offside that ’ s protected by a checker plate stoneguard . It would be great to have a stoneguard on the A-frame , too , but in truth , there ’ s not enough room .
