RV REVIEW
Moving to the kitchen , you ’ ll find a neat and tidy space with a fourburner cooktop , a griller and an oven . The black sink and matching tapware , which includes a separate tap for filtered drinking water , are always a classy touch , and I liked the waterfall benchtop – not something you always see in a caravan .
Between the dinette and bathroom is a 190L Bushman compressor fridge with a microwave recessed into the cabinetry above .
The bathroom contains a nearside shower , offside cassette toilet , a small vanity with a top-loader washing machine beneath the bench , and there ’ s even a pretty decent linen cupboard . In fact , the entire van offers a sensible mix between storage space , features and liveability – nothing feels cramped or forced , or bolted on as an afterthought .
If I could change one thing , it would be to conceal the silastic under the kitchen and bathroom sink . Some manufacturers fit cabinetry inserts to hide where the plumbing disappears through the floor , while others fit plastic collars to seal things off . It is a small detail , but one that I would personally appreciate .
In terms of weights , our OP19 had a Tare of a respectable 2560kg , an ATM of 3500kg and an unladen ball weight of 200kg . There ’ s nothing surprising or concerning about those numbers and there are plenty of suitable tow vehicle available .
