HOW IT’ S BUILT
On the Move prides itself on its chassis setups. It doesn’ t use the RHS steel you’ ll find on many vans. Instead, like all its vans, On the Move uses an‘ automotive style’ chassis made of high tensile steel with lightening holes – an engineering principle in which strength is gained and weight is reduced.
No timber is used in the construction of the van either. Instead, there are three one-piece composite fibreglass panels, one for each wall, and one for the floor, front, roof and rear sections. It all appears nicely done and finished off. All fixings are stainless steel, and 400m of body protection to the panels is provided.
The underside of the van looks pretty clean too. Nothing hanging or appearing vulnerable. A torsion bar suspension system with one shock absorber per wheel is used – fairly simple, but nothing extravagant is needed for a van of this nature anyway. A set of leaf springs would have been perfectly fine as well.
As for external storage, On the Move has given the Galaxy 4.8 a tunnel boot up front, while on the offside towards the rear, you’ ll find a locker that can be also accessed by lifting up the mattress inside. However, given it’ s much easier to access it externally, I doubt you’ d want to go through the hassle of lifting the mattress to access it.
There’ s also a roll-out awning and external speakers( internals speakers are provided too) linked to the supplied stereo system.
