RV REVIEW
The kitchen is fitted directly opposite. For a campervan, it has quite a lot of bench space, which is increased further with the addition of a flip-up extension piece at the leading edge of the bench. Fantastic.
The kitchen is complete with a stylish stainless steel sink with a toughened glass lid, hot and cold water, and even a separate tap for filtered drinking water. the Explorer LX comes with a 125L fresh water tank and a separate 45L tank for drinking water – brilliant. But Avida has also included a 95L grey water tank, making the van perfect for exploring national parks and other places where it’ s important to truly leave no trace.
The kitchen also includes an under-bench fridge. It isn’ t huge but then again, space is always going to be more limited in a campervan conversion. In this case, the fridge is a slimline compressor unit. Did I mention that this is a‘ gas-less’ van? One of the key points of the Explorer LX is the off-grid lifestyle that it affords. Of course, that’ s intended within reason – water, for example, will always be a limiting factor. But in terms of power, there’ s two 200Ah lithium batteries, which can be optioned to three 200Ah batteries, which are kept up to charge via the roof-mounted solar panels – 400W worth of solar is standard, but it can be optioned up to 800W with the addition of a couple 200W solar blankets.
