RV PROFILE
The fridge, which sits between the dinette and bathroom, is a substantial 175L compressor unit, while the reverse-cycle AC unit is no slouch either – a 3.5kW Gree that should have no issue cooling the van, whether off-grid or plugged into mains. Speaking of heating though, Paul and Ellen opted for the diesel-fired Eberspacher combo space and water heater. The composting toilet further adds to the true offgrid nature of this van.
The bathroom is a very attractive space. While it doesn’ t contain a washing machine – a specific choice of Paul and Ellen – it does have all the essentials and it looks great.
Asked to nominate their favourite features of their pride and joy, Ellen quickly pointed to the van’ s overall comfort factor.
“ We’ ve cooked with the barbecue on, the air-con on, all the lights on, all at the same time, with no issue,” she said.“ We can live offgrid all the time, as long as the sun is shining. I like the full-length bathroom mirror – it feels like luxury – and it feels like we have enough space and storage for anything we want to bring along.”
