ELEVATED BED
An 18ft van with a rear club lounge and full bathroom is going to need a clever bed setup . In this case , Royal Flair has employed an elevated bed system that lowers over the dinette to whatever height you prefer . The bed stretches the full width of the van . As a result , there are no overhead lockers in the rear , but there is a generous array of storage nooks across the back wall . Each corner has reading lights with in-built USB points , while a single 12V Sirocco II fan sits on the offside , above a wireless phone charger built into the offside bench , while another is fitted near the door .
I was immediately intrigued by the material used for all countertops . It ’ s called Thinscape , a stone-like material that ’ s scratch-resistant and capable of enduring hard impacts . It would be immeasurably more hardwearing than the laminated ply found in most vans . However , it is heavier , as I discovered in the ensuite when lifting a ‘ lid ’ section to access the top-loader washing machine beneath . The LED strip lighting just below the bench looks great .
