RV REVIEW
On the offside, at the end of the kitchen,
is a swivel bracket so the flatscreen TV can
be watched from the bed or dinette. And
while the bedroom has the standard features,
including reading lights, overhead lockers
and wardrobes, the position of the hot water
service means there’s no lower wardrobe
storage on the offside, though there is clothes
storage above.
The bathroom has a Thetford cassette toilet
and a moulded-fibreglass shower, with the
vanity inbetween. Two shelves sit either side
of the sink, below the bench – perfect for
towels and the like. There’s also an under-sink
cupboard and another cupboard above the
front-loader washing machine that’s mounted
to the rear wall.
Overall, I thought the interior was more than
just presentable; it’s warm and very inviting.
GORV’S VERDICT
The Newlands Onyx is a mid-weight van. It’s
Tare of 2223kg is quite reasonable, as is its
500kg payload capacity. Aside from the fit
and finish, the Onyx stands out particularly
for its value. This is indeed a lot of van for a
reasonable price.
