RV REVIEW
The back section of the van is essentially divided into three rooms . A small walkway separates three bunks on the offside of the van and leads to a large wardrobe . Nestled neatly inside the wardrobe , on the floor , is a Euromaid 5kg front-loading washing machine .
Opposite the bunks is the ensuite , which includes a separate shower , and while a bigger bloke like myself might struggle to get through the door easily , there ’ s certainly enough space for showering once inside . It ’ s a good use of space that will suit the whole family .
Extra electrical gear inside the van includes an Ibis 4 AC system and a Webasto diesel heater with a monitor . An NCE 24in smart TV with Winegard Sensor and HV antenna , plus a DVD / CD player , handles the entertainment .
I hauled the van from Campbellfield to Torquay , Vic , and around the coast . It sat well behind the Cruiser and showed very respectable road manners across a range of surfaces and speeds . It was a safe , comfortable ride .
GORV ’ S VERDICT
With a drive-away ( ex-Melbourne ) price of $ 79,990 , this Coastline 20 is a serious contender in the family van stakes . It ’ s got loads of standard features and a timeproven layout that is practical , enjoyable and liveable !
