RV REVIEW
As a result, they have the flexibility to run portable induction cooktops inside and out, instead of a conventional gas stove. Of course, that means they’ ll need an inverter. They opted for a Redarc pure since wave 3000W unit, which has the grunt to also run their reverse-cycle air-conditioner and any other 240V appliance – not necessarily all at the same time, but I’ m sure they ' ll manage!
Notably, Wonder Roo has positioned this electronic equipment in the tunnel boot, behind vented plexiglass to keep it safe from gear stowed in the boot. It’ s a thoughtful design.
A neat idea: the inclusion of two fold-down picnic tables. One is a conventional type, while the other features a recessed shelving unit complete with a 240V point intended to power the portable induction cooktop. It’ s not the first time I’ ve seen this idea, of course, but I do like it
On the A-frame, Wayne and Ann Marie opted for a storage unit fabricated from checkerplate with slide-out trays either side. Now, I said this van didn’ t have a gas system … but that’ s not really true. You see, the couple did include a couple of 9kg gas cylinders inside the central storage locker of the A- frame box. These cylinders are plumbed to a gas bayonet near the tunnel boot, so that Wayne and Ann Marie can fire up the barbecue they intend to fit to the boot in the future. As much as I personally like the idea of being‘ gas-less’, I do think it’ s wise to have a gas backup.
