RV REVIEW
Finally, the bathroom. I don’ t mind admitting that the round mirror adds a certain wow-factor. In all the years I’ ve been looking at caravans, I’ m not sure that I’ ve seen such a setup before. I realise it’ s a small aesthetic detail … but I liked it!
The bathroom also includes a wallmounted front-loader washing machine, a cassette toilet and a nearside fibreglass shower cubicle.
Among the other inclusions are a reverse-cycle air-conditioner, a microwave recessed into the cabinetry above the fridge, some 12V fans in the bedroom, reading lights at the dinette, a flatscreen TV and speakers, LED strip lights above the overheads … it adds up to quite an appealing package. I liked that all overhead locker doors are on piano hinges, too – still the best and strongest way to secure them, in my humble opinion.
And by the way, if you like this van but want to go even smaller, it’ s available in a 172 variation – 17ft 2in. Essentially, you’ ll lose 2in from the dining area and 2in from the bathroom. But if you like this size but would prefer a forward door, there’ s a layout to suit.
