Other external features include a rear-view camera , a picnic table , tunnel storage and an Awnlux electric awning that can be wound in manually should an electrical or other fault occur .
Overall , it ’ s a striking exterior . Again , the ‘ joins ’ – which I suppose they technically are – are faultless in appearance , to the point that it truly does seem like the shell of the van has been folded , origami style , out of one giant sheet of aluminium . And if you ’ re wondering about the front and rear aluminium protrusions , they ’ re designed to improve the van ’ s aerodynamic efficiency , which according to Harvok have been proven to work in computerised ‘ wind tunnel ’ simulations .
According to Harvok , computational fluid dynamics show the van is 1.5 times more aerodynamically stable at high speeds , while the improved aerodynamic efficiency results in better fuel efficiency .

CHECK OUT THE INTERIOR
The interior is certainly attractive , too . With visible catches on each cupboard and locker door , it is perhaps not as sleek as some modern designs , but that makes it no less functional . Let ’ s start in the nose of the van . There ’ s a queensize bed , side wardrobes and overhead lockers . But when you lift the bed base on its gas struts , you ’ ll discover the Harvok Smart Power Management System . It does take up about half of this storage space ; however , one thing that I particularly liked was that the cabling sits inside slotted cable ducts , keeping everything tidy .
The kitchen , which sits across the nearside , is equipped , unsurprisingly , with an induction cooktop . No griller or oven is provided , though , which is generally the case with vans using induction cooking nowadays . One benefit of this setup is that it allows for more bench and cupboard space . I can ’ t credibly complain about the finish of the cabinetry here either . However , I did wonder about the placement of the Fusion sound system . Harvok has mounted it to the door of a kitchen overhead locker , which means each time you open the locker door , you can see the back of the unit and the cabling running to it ; however , Harvok has wrapped it neatly in conduit . If I ’ m honest , I ’ d prefer a more traditional placement for the stereo .
