The nearside kitchen runs from the rear door to the bedroom . Despite the large stainless steel sink and draining board and the fourburner cooktop ( with griller ), there ’ s still plenty of bench space . Though an oven isn ’ t standard , I see no reason travelling chefs won ’ t be happy with what ’ s on offer . Across the way , between the pantry and the bathroom , is a 185L compressor fridge-freezer with a microwave recessed into the cabinetry above .
In the nose of the van , you ’ ll find a queen-size bed surrounded by wardrobes and overhead lockers . As expected , the bed base lifts up ; however , instead of the usual storage space , you ’ ll find the electrical nerve centre of the van : two 200Ah lithium batteries , a 3000W inverter , and a Projecta PM300 BT battery management system . This system will allow you to run your 240V appliances when off-grid , within reason , so the fact there ’ s no 12V point at the dinette isn ’ t a problem .
I liked the bathroom setup . It ’ s spacious and bright , thanks to the inclusion of a rear window , something we don ’ t see a lot of in modern Australian caravans . There ’ s even space for a wallmounted , front-loader washing machine , without the vanity area feeling cramped .
