RV REVIEW
The gunmetal-grey sink and tapware in the kitchen look timeless and yes, there’ s filtered drinking water here too. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop, griller and oven beneath a hinged section of the bench. There’ s arguably enough electrical grunt to go gas-less, thanks to the van’ s dual 225Ah lithium batteries, which are connected to three 250W roof-mounted solar panels, a DC-DC charger and 3000W Projecta inverter 12V system; however, for this van, a traditional gas system complete with dual 9kg gas cylinders in the front toolbox has been fitted. The 12V system is managed by a Projecta PM35 power management system housed in an overhead locker while the inverter is in the front tunnel boot.
I’ ll always check beneath the cabinetry, looking for unsightly gobs of silastic or other poor finishes and I’ m pleased to say that all was in order here.
A club lounge sits to the offside complete with USB-fitted reading lights. By lowering the telescopic table, you can fit an infill cushion to convert the lounge into a second bed.
Now, what would a luxurious couple’ s van such as the Australis TerraCore be without a large fridge? In this case, it’ s a 224L Thetford compressor unit – excellent – with a flat-bed microwave recessed into the cabinetry above.
