RV REVIEW
“ THE JINDABYNE IS A BUDGET-CONSCIOUS POP-TOP FOR SMALL FAMILIES.”
The roof is a one-piece fibreglass panel, while the one-piece exterior-grade floor sports a waterproof coating underneath and a one-piece vinyl covering inside.
Storage-wise, the PT2270 has a front boot that’ s split into two separate compartments: a compartment for the two supplied 4.5kg gas cylinders on the offside, and one for general storage on the nearside.
There is also external access on both sides of the van to the storage space under the main bed, not to mention a small storage bin at the rear nearside.
Among the other external features, there’ s the aforementioned roll-out awning, a ball coupling, and a tap mounted on the A-frame. I wondered if the van would benefit from an external shower, but ultimately decided that the lack of an external shower was no big thing, given a) the pop-top comes standard with only an 80L water tank, and b) it’ s therefore likely to spend more time in holiday parks than free camps. You can option in an external shower, however, if that’ s important to you.
SUMMING UP
The PT2270 is a budget-conscious pop-top that’ s all about getting a small family on the road, travelling the country and enjoying the experience. It’ s geared more towards holiday park stays, rather than lengthy stints away from civilisation, but there’ s nothing wrong with that. In an era where vans seem to be getting bigger and as equipped as the average mansion, I found the Jindabyne rather refreshing. gorv. com. au 51
