RV REVIEW
400Ah worth of lithium battery power . The batteries are stored within an offside compartment , within the body of the van , rather than being ‘ hung ’ off the chassis rail behind some protective checkerplate . I like MDC ’ s solution better . The batteries are paired to a whopping 1225W of rooftop solar – much , much more than you ’ d get with almost any other comparable caravan – as well as a 180A 3000W Projecta autotransfer inverter , which essentially means the powerpoints will automatically draw power from the battery bank via the inverter when off mains supply .
Ultimately , the interior left me with a couple of overriding impressions : it was clearly built solidly and to a high standard . No corners seemed cut , and the level of equipment on board is on par – and in some areas exceeds – comparable vans by other manufacturers .
SO MUCH SOLAR
Stepping outside , the first thing that grabbed my attention : the rear service ladder . MDC is not the first company to include a ladder for roof access , but what a great inclusion .
