The fridge on this van is a 130L under-bench compressor unit. There’ s a 3.4kW reverse-cycle airconditioner, a 20L microwave, a four-burner cooktop with griller, an 18.5in TV / DVD combo, a monitor for the 92L fresh water and 92L grey water tanks, and numerous storage options throughout, including in the Luton peak. Now, this Luton peak isn’ t designed as a bed; rather, it’ s for general storage. Small side benefit: no fear of accidentally banging your head as you move from the driver’ s cab to the living quarters, as I’ ve done many times in the past in motorhomes.
With a relatively low fresh water capacity, and a single 100Ah AGM deep-cycle battery plus a 190W solar panel, these vehicles are designed primarily for caravan park stays, though a night or two off-grid would be perfectly fine.
The interior construction was described to me by Apollo as‘ rental grade’. That’ s not a criticism – actually, in this context, it’ s the opposite. It means it was built to withstand a few knocks, and I think that’ s a fair statement. Given the vehicle had done about 120,000km by the time I climbed aboard, a hardy interior is exactly what you’ d want in a pre-owned vehicle.
