RV REVIEW
The van is no slouch in the energy department , either . It comes with 600Ah worth of lithium batteries , 880W of roof-mounted solar with two 50A MPPT regulators , a Victron Multiplus battery management system , a 3000W inverter , a 120A charger , and a 30A DC-DC charger . The inverter is wired to the reverse-cycle airconditioner . The Victron battery management system is built into the offside wall , behind a sealed door . It ’ s hard not to be impressed – the setup is lightyears ahead of the basic 12V system you might be used to .
Underneath , you ’ ll find two protected 95L water tanks , a 65L tank dedicated to drinking water ( with separate pump ), and a 100L grey water tank .
Other external features include a Fusion sound system , five antiinsect annexe lights , a work light front and rear , with an entertainment locker ( which is where you ’ ll also find the control panel for the airbag suspension ), a neatly presented A-frame storage box complete with slide-out trays to suit a barbecue and fridge , and 9kg gas cylinders in a lockable storage box . There ’ s also tunnel storage with VFLEX liner giving that elegant carpet look and feel , steel skid plates , recovery points , a dual reversing camera , a shower , and even a rear firewood box .
