GORV ’ S GREATEST VANS 2024
It was built upon a substantial 14in Raptor-coated truss chassis . Further , the underside was very well protected . Sheets of checkerplate had been fixed to the chassis rails to guard against debris flicked up by the wheels .
The Hike RV had one of the most appealing interiors I had seen in some time . The brown colour scheme seen here might not be for everyone and yes , a full colour scheme is available . But the layout was well balanced and there were a number of interesting touches you won ’ t find on most vans . I ’ m specifically referring to the large niche in the forward kitchen wall . This cutout was designed to accommodate the 28in flatscreen TV provided in the Ultra pack .
When it came to the bedroom , the standout features were obvious : two attractive niches within the corner cupboards at the foot of the bed , and a vertical light panel incorporating a strip of LEDs within the void between the bedroom wall and shower to act as a night light .
The 12V system as standard might not have been as extensive as some of the other vans on this list , but it ’ s still decent , with two 150Ah lithium batteries and 660W of solar .
Overall , this was a very attractive and well-sorted caravan , inside and out .
