Tie-down points are provided, naturally, and the
tailgate is easy to raise and lower – since first
looking at this van, an electric tailgate has been
added, making it even easier. With the tailgate
ramp lowered, the van floods with natural light – I
could see myself perched on one of the lounges,
red wine in hand, watching the sun set over a lake,
or perhaps just watching the telly that’s mounted
on a swingarm behind the kitchen’s overhead
cabinetry.
I was struck by the amount of internal storage
on offer inside the Evora, from the generous
wardrobe beside the front bed to the overhead
lockers throughout – including in the garage.
And then there’s the wardrobe behind the large
fridge-freezer on the offside.

The kitchen is home to a four-burner cooktop and
griller, with a microwave below, a sink with flick
mixer tap, a pull-out pantry and more. It doesn’t
have a great deal of bench space but, of course,
you could put your chopping board on top of the
glass lid of the cooktop when that’s not in use.
The combo bathroom is directly opposite the
kitchen, between the large fridge and the bedroom
wardrobe.
The marine plywood floor is covered in a heavy-
duty vinyl, including in the rear section. I’m told
that it’s robust enough to withstand the scrapes
and knocks that it will inevitably be subjected to
by loading and unloading kayaks, dirt bikes, etc.
