RV FEATURE

GALAXY 4.8

The cafe dinette sat in the rear offside of the van, adjacent to a large section of wall that literally lifted up on gas struts, creating one of the largest‘ windows’ I’ d ever seen on a caravan before. Imagine sitting at the dinette, by the beach, with an ocean breeze gently wafting through. Imagine how quickly the van would cool down in the evening after a hot day after opening that window.

Speaking of windows, this section of fibreglass sandwich panel contained within it a more conventional caravan window, which means you don’ t need to open up the entire section if you want to enjoy a breeze.

In the front nearside corner, On the Move had located a queensize bed hard up against the wall. The bed had a split mattress – the two halves could be folded to allow you to lift up a section in order to gain access to the storage space beneath.

The bathroom was a combo unit that contained a cassette toilet, stylish black tapware and showerhead, and a clever fold-out washbasin. This fold-out design wasn’ t unique to On the Move per se, but it worked very well in terms of saving space. Just undo a clip and the basin folds out from the wall above the toilet.

Other features includes a ducted air-conditioner, a 185L compressor fridge, and an induction cooktop. Now, upon hearing the words‘ induction cooktop’, you might assume this was an off-grid caravan intended to reach far-flung offroad destinations. However, that’ s not the case. The Galaxy 4.8 was built specifically for blacktop adventures and holiday park stays.
