In the kitchen , you will find a classy black sink and a fourburner cooktop and griller . The microwave , which is mounted into the cabinetry above , has also received an upgrade : instead of a turntable microwave , it ’ s a flatbed unit , which provides more internal room for cooking / reheating , while still distributing the heat evenly .
The rear bathroom is quite an attractive and , more importantly , practical space . With a cassette toilet on the offside , fibreglass shower cubicle on the nearside , and a rear vanity unit , it doesn ’ t feel too cramped inside .
The interior has all the usual necessary features , too , from a reverse-cycle air-conditioner to a 24in TV and sound system connected to interior and exterior speakers . Atlantic has also included LED strip lights below the overhead lockers throughout .
But what does all of this weigh ? The Tare of our review van was 2575kg , which seems about right for its size , build and equipment . Given its ATM is 3400kg , it offers a payload capacity of 825kg – more than enough .
SUMMING UP
The updates on the Atlantic Caravan Signature Series are very welcome . I much prefer the flat front profile ( notwithstanding the top and bottom angles ), and new features such as the VanTenna and the upgraded 12V system add a great deal of appeal to what is quite a well-rounded caravan which should provide a couple of decades worth of happy memories .
