RV REVIEW
Avida has included a 240V powerpoint at the dinette too, along with reading lights that contain integrated USB points.
The kitchen bench runs the length of the nearside wall and I have to compliment the quality of the cabinetry here – it’ s first rate stuff. The kitchen is fitted with a fourburner cooktop, a griller and an oven, a stainless steel sink with filtered drinking water, and excellent storage options. I loved the snap-up kitchen bench extension too and, if I’ m not mistaken, they’ ve used new hinges that are easier to release.
Now, the fridge-freezer in the Birdsville LX is a large AES threeway unit that sits just behind the driver’ s cab on the nearside, with a microwave above. However, a compressor fridge is available as an option.
At the rear end of the kitchen bench, where the bench butts up against the bathroom wall, Avida has fitted an entertainment hub comprised of a Fusion sound system( with one outside too). This is where Avida has fitted the controls for the diesel heater and the Truma UltraRapid hot water service, but in a perfect world I’ d relocate these to beside the bed where they can be reached first thing in the morning, without having to get up!
