RV PROFILE In fact, when the McMahons were searching for a new van, this 20ft 6in Hotham sold itself. “We wanted a new van as our other one was quite small,” Ruth said. “When we saw this one, it just sparkled. It had everything we wanted and we fell in love with it straight away.” I particularly liked the bathroom, with its large linen cupboard next to the offside cassette toilet, central vanity unit with washing machine, and offside shower. IMPRESSIVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Brendan and Ruth travel well. The 2480kg (Tare) Hotham is hauled by a Nissan Navara and is usually loaded to about 2700 to 2800kg – well within the Navara’s range of abilities. The van is also fitted with Dexter sway control. Their power needs are well and truly taken care of. Their Hotham came with a rear-offside generator box as standard; however, the McMahons had it extended slightly to accommodate their 4kVA Redback generator. 08 \
