RV FEATURE
However, that’ s not a feature available in the SRV 22.2. Instead, it comes with a rear lounge / dinette area that needs to be converted to sleeping quarters. It isn’ t too difficult – just lower the table, fit a separate piece of laminated ply for support, and cover them with the backrest cushions. One thing I’ ll highlight: the cushions actually fit. I realise this sounds silly – of course they should fit. But having attempted to sleep on poorly designed bed conversions more than once, I can report that this is not always a given.
Now, there were some fit and finish issues that I noticed – errant silicone here and there, a couple of gaps that could have been filled better, and the laminate edging on the kitchen bench could have been done better too. But all that said, they’ re relatively minor issues which, when you factor in the price of the rig and what you’ re getting in comparison to comparable vehicles on the market, are easy enough to overlook.
The power system is comprised of a single 100Ah lithium battery, a 200W roof-mounted solar panel, and a 30A DC-DC charger. The unit comes with a Projecta 410BT touchscreen display, too, which allows you to control the lights within the van, including the LED strip lighting, and monitor your water levels. Speaking of water levels, the
fresh water capacity is limited to 100L, with 60L of grey water.
Travelling by campervan is very different to travelling with a caravan. In some respects, it’ s easier. In others, it requires you to be more organised. But if the campervan life is for you, why not take a look at the MY26 offerings from Snowy River, whether it’ s the 19ft unit or one of the three layouts in the 22ft range? You might be glad you did.
