RV REVIEW
There’ s a few small but welcome touches to this van’ s exterior that I particularly applaud. First, the setup of the water fillers and town water inlet, specifically how they’ re each integrated on a steel plate and neatly labelled. I also loved the design of the offside Anderson plug, which allows you to expand your solar input via a portable panel. The plug is set within a protective housing, rather than being bolted carelessly to the chassis, which demonstrates some forethought by the van’ s designer.
Underneath, the van is fitted out with three water tanks: two for fresh water( 80L each), and one 80L grey water tank. At first, 160L of fresh water seemed a bit light; but in the context of the type of touring for which the van is built, it’ s probably about right. Naturally, each tank is given some stone shielding too.
Along the nearside, the slide-out kitchen is a highlight. It contains a three-burner Thetford gas cooktop, a sink with hot and cold water, and some storage space. The kitchen unit slides out from the tunnel boot, just behind the A- frame-mounted storage box, which is fabricated from powdercoated aluminium sheeting. There’ s storage for two 9kg gas cylinders in the central compartment, and yet more storage space on the offside.
There’ s a spare wheel mounted to the rear of the LC19C, along with a reversing camera, while on the roof is a Dometic Freshjet 7 Series Pro reverse-cycle air-conditioner and antenna for the onboard Googleready 28in smart TV( a Fusion sound system is provided too).
