RV REVIEW
OUTSIDE ESCAPE
The Escape Series has beam-axle leaf-spring suspension , a 50mm ball coupling , two 95L water tanks mounted towards the front , and a grey water tank towards the rear . This van is not an offroader . Instead , it is built for the blacktop with a few undulations here and there thrown in .
Two 9kg gas cylinders are mounted to the drawbar in front of a checkerplate storage box complete with jerry can holders either side and a slide-out tray on the offside to suit a small generator or portable fridge .
The nearside of the van isn ’ t flush with equipment but it has the essentials , such as a roll-out awning and picnic table . Now , this is a very small point but I liked that Tango used a table design that doesn ’ t require keys . After all , caravans have too many keys as it is and do we really need yet another for the picnic table ?
At the rear of the van , Tango has mounted an optional bike rack to suit three bikes . This is , after all , a family caravan , so the bike rack is a very welcome inclusion .
