RV REVIEW INSIDE THE JOEY True, the interior of the Joey would not be for everyone. But even the most hardened RV critic would have to admire the quality of the fitout. The dinette, which has a tri-fold table, will comfortably suit two people. The offside kitchen, meanwhile, offers a suitable amount of bench space and especially storage. There is a range of cupboards and even a couple of drawers hidden behind a cupboard door. The kitchen has a two-burner cooktop, a sink, and it was even fitted with an optional Sirocco 12V fan. An east-west bed is fitted across the front of the van, with an optional flatscreen TV at the end on the offside. For such a compact van, there’s plenty of storage. And that includes under the bed. Even with the optional reverse-cycle air-conditioner fitted, not to mention the Porta Pottie provision, there’s a decent amount of space left over for gear. SUMMING UP Our review van was well and truly specced up with features such as the air-conditioner, a battery upgrade, the Foxwing awning, external shower and hot water service. To my mind, some of these options are quite essential, such as the awning. But that’s the beauty of the Bushranger business – they’ll fit-out the van according to your budget. Even with all those extras added, the van weighed a reasonable 1220kg Tare, but a standard unit would come in around 1000kg. This van has a lot to offer. The only question: where would you take it? gorv.com.au 15
