EASY , EFFECTIVE LAYOUT
First and foremost , the 1500 QB was a couple ’ s van . The layout didn ’ t break new ground ; however , it did a good job with the space allowed . There was a queen-size bed in the nose , a nearside dinette , a kitchen across the rear , and a corner combo bathroom and fridge filling out the offside wall . As part of the Rhino pack , the furniture throughout was made from an upgraded 15-25mm ply and finished with easy-clean gloss laminate .
The kitchen was equipped with a four-burner cooktop and griller , though you could have an oven fitted if you wanted to . The cooker was sensibly fitted on the far side of the bench , rather than near the door .
Now , the bathroom was a combo unit with rubber seals for all joins . It included a hand-held shower rose and a bench-style cassette toilet with a moulded-fibreglass hand basin behind .
The fridge was a 188L three-way unit but given the lithium battery capacity – 200Ah worth of lithium battery power topped up by 340W worth of solar – it could be worth considering fitting a compressor unit instead .
The bed base lifted on gas struts to reveal reasonable storage ; however , it was also where Goldstream had mounted the BMPRO BatteryPlus 35 battery management system , DC-DC charger and OdysseyLink , which you could pair to your smartphone in order to receive real-time updates on things like the water levels and battery state of charge . A Trek3 digital display was provided , too .
Personally , I struggled to find fault with the interior . These guys just know what they ’ re doing , and it shows .
