The nearside kitchen features a four-burner cooktop , griller and oven beneath a hinged section of Laminex-finished benchtop which , when closed , provides additional work space . There ’ s a stainless steel rangehood , some overhead lockers and under-bench storage space , separate filtered drinking water , which is very welcome , and a microwave recessed into the cabinetry above .
Tango also provides an infill cushion so that you can lower the dinette table to create a base for yet another bed ; however , the dinette does not have 240V or 12V points in the leg area , which would be my preference . Instead , Tango has fitted two reading lights with in-built USB charging points .
In the nose of the van is the queen-size bed . The base lifts on gas struts to reveal a decent storage area and despite this van being fitted with a tunnel boot , the boot doesn ’ t encroach on this storage space .
In terms of power , the Escape Series is supplied with two 105Ah deep-cycle batteries , which are mounted to the offside chassis rail behind some protective steel , as well as two 170W solar panels . Tango Caravans has also given it the BMPRO BatteryPlus 35 battery management system and Trek 3 digital display , which provides instant data on the batteries ’ state of charge and water tank levels . You can also control the water pump from this display , which means one less switch mounted to the wall .
