RV REVIEW AWESOME FAMILY LAYOUT SUBSCRIBE INNER LIGHT Everest Caravans is a relatively new player on the caravan scene. You wouldn’t know it by stepping inside the offroad Ice Glider, however. As it happens, the owner of the company had been building caravans for many years before opening Everest. There are eight models in the range, from the diminutive 18ft Nitro to this top-end rig, which has an overall length of 22ft 8in, high ground clearance, and a sharp front profile. In short: the Ice Glider looks purposeful, with an aggressive attitude on the outside and a plush, comfortable interior. Our Ice Glider had a bunk layout, incorporating three rear nearside bunks, a separate bathroom opposite, a front bedroom and everything else in between. While the van covers all the bases nicely, it’s the little things that I appreciated. For example, the edge of each bunk bed is finished with leather-upholstered padding, which will afford the kids some protection as they throw themselves into bed. There’s a large cupboard next to the bunks, too, and the adjacent bathroom is very nicely finished. A leakproof fully-moulded fibreglass shower has been fitted with its own door, along with a small vanity and cassette toilet. "THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS VAN'S LAYOUT IS UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THEM." / 21
