INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
This was only the second Hike RV that I had looked at , but I am coming to see that this manufacturer does its interiors well . The layout was similar to our previous Amore Ultra – with a couple of key differences .
This was a family layout . Whereas the previous van had a club lounge across the rear , Hike RV had replaced it with a couple of bunks , moving the leather-upholstered club lounge to the offside .
In any case , it feels spacious and nicely done . While the rear bunks do form part of the main living quarters , the location of the 224L Dometic compressor fridge with 20L microwave above creates a sense of separation . Incidentally , Hike RV provides an air-fryer as part of the Ultra pack instead of a microwave ; however , this van ’ s customers specifically requested a microwave instead .
The nearside kitchen is a highlight of this van . I loved the angled benchtop , specifically the way it creates a ‘ walkthrough ’ space to the split bathroom and bedroom in the front of the van . The kitchen has a classy black sink with separate filtered drinking water , along with a four-burner cooktop , griller and oven .
If I was to make any change to the main living quarters , it would be to swap the locker doors beneath the lowest bunk with drawers . This would slightly reduce the physical storage space , but access would be easier . That said , you have to hand it to Hike RV – this is a welldesigned space .
