NOW THAT’ S A WINDOW!
Stepping inside the Galaxy 4.8, I was met with a compact but functional layout that I believe would work well for two people. Does it have acres of living space? Well, no. But what do you expect in a van that’ s only 4.8m long? It does, however, provide the sense of space. And therein lies the key to this van.
The cafe dinette sits in the rear offside of the van, adjacent to a large section of wall that literally lifts up on gas struts, creating one of the largest‘ windows’ I’ ve ever seen on a caravan before. Imagine sitting at the dinette, by the beach, with an ocean breeze gently wafting through. Imagine how quickly the van would cool down in the evening after a hot day after opening that window.
Speaking of windows, this section of fibreglass sandwich panel contains within it a more conventional caravan window, which means you don’ t need to open up the entire section if you want to enjoy a breeze.
I did, however, notice that no flyscreen was fitted to this large window section. On the Move coowner Robin Harris, however, was way ahead of me. He already has an idea on how screen it off to keep the bugs at bay, and we could expect to see that in the Galaxy 4.8 soon.
