The Stormbreaker has a high , purposeful stance on the road , thanks to the chassis setup . It is comprised of 6in DuraGal main steel members and a 2in raiser , giving the van 8in of steel underneath . As a result , Deluxe has fitted a double fold-out entry step . I loved the rear cutaway , too . A little extra departure angle is always welcome .
The Stormbreaker has an entertainment locker , LED awning lights , a picnic table and speakers . The customer who had recently had this van built opted for a slide-out Dometic kitchen , which takes up most of the tunnel boot storage space . However , there ’ s another storage locker on the offside and , let ’ s not forget , a checkerplate storage box on the 6in A-frame complete with slideout trays either side . I would add an Anderson plug inside the nearside compartment , though , in order to power a portable fridge .
Speaking of power , the 18ft 6in Stormbreaker comes with two 100Ah lithium batteries , which are secured to the offside chassis rail behind protective checkerplate .
Other external features include a shower , a couple of rear jerry can holders , a reversing camera , and front and rear LED light bars . While the dual 9kg gas cylinders on the A-frame are protected by a mesh stoneguard , I did find this stoneguard slightly impeded winding the jockey wheel , but it wasn ’ t too bad and I could get the job done .
That said , the Stormbreaker ’ s exterior in standard format is fairly generous – I have seen similarlypriced vans with less equipment . Even the front-mounted bike rack is standard . Overall , it ’ s a visually appealing , high-riding rig .
