Underneath, you’ ll find two 120L fresh water tanks as well as a 70L grey tank, while five 100W solar panels are mounted to the roof to keep the dual 135Ah lithium batteries charged. A Renogy power management system with 2000W pure sine wave inverter, and Renogy mains and DC-DC charger, are provided too. Overall, it’ s a decent if not flashy 12V system.
INSIDE THE WINDSOR RAPID 13
As is always the case with hybrid vans, the Rapid 13 is geared towards outdoor living. Think of the interior as a place to sleep, to use the bathroom, and get out of the weather.
The bed fills out the rear section. A 12V fan is included, along with reading lights and 12V charging points. The main benefit to the redesigned bed area, when compared to the Rapid of old, is that it now has hard walls( finished in marine carpet) rather than canvas.
A small dinette with swivel table is fitted to the foot of the bed. The lounge is quite small. If travelling as a pair, you might find it more comfortable for one person to sit on the bed while eating.
The combo bathroom sits in the forward-offside corner of the layout. The fibreglass cubicle is complete with an attractive aluminium panel where the tap and hand-held shower-head are, and no, Windsor has not forgotten to include a mirror above the small but functional vanity. You’ d be surprised how many times a mirror is excluded from caravans, especially those with compact layouts.
Wardrobe storage, overhead lockers and a storage unit filling out the front wall, next to the bathroom, are all included as well, as is the mounting point and antenna connections for a TV, though a TV isn’ t included in the price.
