RV REVIEW LAGOON FLAGSHIP ON TOUR SUBSCRIBE K R O W E N O C THE SILI . D N A H D E L KIL S A Y B E N WAS DO the leg well for accessing general items that may have been stored next to the battery. This is beneath the vanity bench, with a hinged section of bench providing access. A north-south queen-size bed is provided in the front bedroom, along with the expected overhead lockers and wardrobes. Each wardrobe has niche, where you might put your reading glasses and book, etc., and there are also 240V/12V powerpoints inside. When lifting and lowering this section of bench, I noticed it was a tight fit on one size – it tended to bind on the rest of the bench and was in need of just one millimetre of additional clearance. The rear bathroom is reasonably generous in terms of space – in fact, each of the van’s ‘zone’s’ feels quite spacious – and even comes with a linen cupboard in the offside-rear corner, next to the cassette toilet. You’ll also find a rear vanity, storage cupboards, a separate moulded-fibreglass shower cubicle, and a washing machine. On a similar subject, the hole in the shelf accommodating the kitchen sink’s drain was a little splintery. These two points reflect the fact that caravans are, by and large, hand-built vehicles and, in one case, nothing that a bit of sandpaper wouldn’t fix. I did note, however, that the silicone work was done by a skilled hand – no giant gobs of silastic that I could find, unlike in plenty of other new vans on the market. / 39
