GO CLUBBNG
At first glance , the layout is all about the rear club lounge . While I personally prefer smaller rigs , one of the best things about larger caravans is the ability to fit a club lounge in the back – they are particularly good for entertaining . They also set the layout up for an amidships split bathroom .
In the case of this Sarah Series , the bathroom splits the layout into three distinct zones : the bedroom is in the front , the club lounge and kitchen are towards the rear , and the bathroom separates the two .
The kitchen comes equipped with a griller and oven , and a fourburner cooktop recessed into the bench . Opposite that is a T-rated three-way fridge with a microwave above . There ’ s also a pantry comprised of two separate compartments , with the top one only having pull-out shelves . Further back , still on the offside , is a cabinet containing a 3.5kg toploading washing machine .
Sitting in the nose of the van , the bed is surrounded by overhead lockers and wardrobes , each with a niche complete with 12V and 240V powerpoints , and there ’ s a TV mount on the wall at the foot of the bed , with the antenna point mounted to the ceiling rather than the wall .
Astute readers might have noticed that this caravan has a flat floor , with no wheel arch protrusions – the upshot is more living and storage space , though it means the van does ride quite high .
