RV FEATURE
QUALITY FITOUT
The 19ft 6in Coromal Thrill Seeker had a ‘ space-saving ’ layout . The east-west bed in the nose of the caravan allowed for lots of living space that you wouldn ’ t have otherwise . It also allowed for a spacious rear kids ’ bedroom , with bunks ( 1.83m ) in the offside corner , a generous wardrobe on the rear wall ( which included a top-loading washing machine ), and a bathroom in the nearside corner .
My initial observation was that the van was impeccably finished . The cabinetry was first rate – to be honest , the fitout of this Coromal was superior to what I ’ d seen from this brand in previous years .
To the left of the entrance , Coromal had mounted a swivel arm for a flatscreen TV , along with the relevant 12V / 240V and antenna points . It ’ s a very small point , but the bolt heads and washers used to fix the swivel arm in place were a little unsightly . Having said that , it appears to be very sturdy and I ’ d opt for strength over aesthetics any day .
The corner bathroom was equipped with a cassette toilet and separate shower , and while the entrance to the kids ’ room had a solid sliding door , the bathroom only had an accordion-style door , which I ’ d prefer to see upgraded to something a little more solid .
Our Thrill Seeker was built with a meranti timber frame clad with insulated composite aluminium . However , the roof was a onepiece composite fibreglass structure stretching from the front to the rear . It was built atop a 4in SupaGal Austrail chassis complete with a 4in raiser and 6in A-frame .
Underneath , you ’ ll find two 95L fresh water tanks , one mounted fore and aft of the axles ; however , a grey water tank is not fitted standard .
