‘ GOLD CLASS ’ SLIDE-OUT
First , the slide-out in the new Overland XT is , unsurprisingly , very similar in design and ‘ feel ’ to the one we found in the Coastline XT . Positioned on the offside , it slides out at the push of a button , as expected , and even has built-in cup-holders ! The truth is , sitting in this club lounge , you almost feel like you ’ re in a Gold Class cinema . The two-tone leather upholstery genuinely feels luxurious and while I ’ d personally prefer some powerpoints in the leg area , there are USB charging points integrated with the multidirectional reading lights in this space . It truly is a lovely spot to perch yourself while you relax or watch the world go by through one of the two windows .
The layout of this Overland 21XT is actually based on the 20ft Overland , one of Australis ’ most popular models . As part of the design of this XT , the company added 1ft in length in order to sensibly fit the slide-out module and allow space for a floor-toceiling pantry on the offside , which sits between the slide-out and the 224L Thetford compressor fridge . The additional space also allowed for a pull-out bin in the nearside kitchen , which you wouldn ’ t get in the 20ft Overland .
