There are eight models in the Forte SR range , from 9ft to 22ft . The 14-footer , as seen here , offers a great deal of liveability in a lightweight , single-axle package . The Forte SR14 , in fact , ticks a lot of boxes . It is strictly an on-road caravan which , in a market saturated with so-called ‘ offroaders ’, I found quite refreshing . Let ’ s step inside .
INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
Aesthetically , the interior is appealing . The layout works well , too . In the nose of the van is an east-west bed , a few overhead lockers , a couple of reading lights , and padded vinyl covering the front wall . A couple of drawers provide ready access to the storage space beneath the highdensity foam mattress .
Amidships , there ’ s a comfortable dinette on the nearside , while the kitchen sits directly opposite .
The kitchen contains the Dometic 130L NRX1130 compressor fridge . This unit is versatile in that you can remove the 8.2L freezer compartment and use the entirety of the space for refrigeration only . It will take some jiggling to remove the compartment , though , as the fridge door can ’ t open all of the way due to the position of the bed . It can be done – it just takes a little fiddling .
