RV REVIEW
My second highlight of the interior might again seem like a small point, but the pantry is a winner. Rather than a full-height wire basket unit, Snowy River has given this van two separate drawers, one on top of the other, that sit between the dinette and the 224L Thetford fridge compressor fridge.
The kitchen contains a two-burner gas cooktop with one electric induction cooktop. No griller or oven is standard in this van. However, with the option of cooking on gas or an electric induction cooktop, you have some options in terms of power management when off-grid.
With its recessed sink, numerous storage options and massive amount of bench space, it’ s a good-looking kitchen. I also liked the brushed-gold door catches and tapware, and appreciated that the convection microwave was positioned under the bench rather than in the overhead locker space.
Speaking of overhead lockers, yet another small point: Snowy River Caravans has given the doors of the overheads a concave profile, which adds to the sense of interior space. It marginally reduces the storage space behind the locker doors, but there’ s always a tradeoff in caravan design. Personally, given the amount of space elsewhere for storage, I think it’ s a trade-off worth making.
A queen-size bed sits in the nose of the van, complete with wardrobes either side and lockers above. Each wardrobe has a bedside table as well as a niche, so you won’ t be short on places to put your things as you retire for the evening. Each niche has a 240V powerpoint but no 12V point which is something I would add. That said, both bedside tables do have an inbuilt wireless charging point. Finally, the wardrobes have been provided with a false bottom – a piece of laminated ply that you can remove to access the niche area from above.
