OPTIMISED INTERIOR
As you ’ d expect , given the size of the van , it has an east-west bed in the nose . After all , this is the best option when it comes to maximising space in small layouts .
There ’ s an L-shaped dinette just aft of the forward door , and a surprisingly generous kitchen along the offside . There ’ s even a hinged section of bench sitting above the four-burner cooktop and griller . Our review High Country Xtreme didn ’ t have an oven – there was a large pot drawer here instead – but you could option an oven in if you wanted .
There ’ s an array of lockers above the bench , too , one of which houses a BMPRO BatteryPlus35 battery management system and OdysseyLink . An adjacent locker houses a MiniBoost DC-DC charger – another good piece of
equipment which will effectively boost the voltage from the tow vehicle ’ s alternator to provide more charge into the van ’ s dual 230Ah lithium batteries .
Of course , the High Country Xtreme has solar input , too , in the form of three 200W panels on the roof . There ’ s even a 2600W Enerdrive inverter .
Perhaps the neatest trick performed by this van ’ s layout is the full-width rear bathroom . No , it ’ s not the largest bathroom in the world , but it certainly doesn ’ t feel cramped … and it even includes a washing machine .
