Beneath the lounge is a cavernous storage area that’s home to a 120Ah AGM battery and charger on the nearside, and a gas-electric hot water service on the offside. Regal has also installed a small ‘cubby’ on the offside to house the 3kg gas cylinder. This is easily accessible from the rear of the motorhome. The offside, meanwhile, is taken up a wardrobe, a 90L compressor fridge, and a combo bathroom that’s fitted behind the driver’s seat. I have no complaints at all about the bathroom fitout. In fact, I like that a swivel cassette toilet was fitted instead of a bench-style toilet, and that Regal even included a curtain for the shower section. There’s a range of overhead lockers, too, including above the dinette with lockers either side and one at the very rear. The rearmost locker, however, can’t be opened if either side locker is open. Among the other features, you’ll find a reverse- cycle air-conditioner and classy LED strip lighting above the dinette. 20 \ Our review van was fitted with some roof- mounted solar panels, but I felt that the solar regulator, mounted to the wall in the kitchen, was visually intrusive, detracting slightly from the overall elegance of the motorhome. I wondered if it could be moved to inside an overhead locker.
