RV REVIEW
The bathroom is split across both sides of the van , positioned between the main cabin and the front bedroom . It has it all : a cassette toilet , a top-loading washing machine , vanity with black sink , and a fully-moulded fibreglass shower . A small point : the bench above the washing machine is on hinges , so it lifts upwards . However , Hike RV can instead put this on runners , allowing the section of bench above the washing machine to slide open , which means you ’ re not loosing bench space in the bathroom every time you want to use the washing machine . That would be my preference but , again , it ’ s important to remember that this is a customer ’ s van built to their needs .
Finally , the bedroom : an absolute highlight of the van . Hike RV was the first manufacturer that I ’ m aware of to recess a light panel in the wall . Essentially , it ’ s a strip of LEDs inside the void between the shower and the bedroom wall , with the LEDs offset slightly so they don ’ t shine too brightly at night time . I love the open shelving within the angled cupboards at the foot of the bed , too .
