In the ensuite is an NCE top-loader washing machine , ceramic basin and shower .
The electrical system is managed by a BMPro Genius battery management system . There ’ s also an RV Electronics water tank gauge , used in conjunction with an InstaPower power monitoring system .
There ’ s reasonable storage in the kitchen and great storage in the ensuite , and yet more under the queen-sized bed .
iDeal has used a hinged door between the living space and the ensuite . This is quite a different look as this would usually be a sliding door for this space . I didn ’ t mind it ; however , when opening the door I found it hit the fridge , which over time would leave marks if the owners weren ’ t on the ball .
As I said , I liked the light interior and the Nikpol woodgrain benchtops add a textile feel to the van as well . It ’ s a classy look inside this van and one that many tourers would enjoy .
BODY WORK iDeal has created a serious-looking body that features bucketloads of black checkerplate and smooth-sided silver aluminium composite bodywork , all mounted on a meranti timber frame with full insulation . All the Aussie Traveller windows are doubleglazed with midgeproof screens , offering excellent natural light into the van as well as good ventilation .
There are plenty of features around the body as well , some of which include stainless steel grab handles front and back , a full-width tunnel boot , black awning , picnic table , drop step , external shower , two 100Ah batteries , gas bayonet and plenty of lights and a reversing camera .
On the roof are twin 170W solar panels , hatches for the ensuite , bedroom and entranceway , and rounding out the package is an Ibis 4 air-conditioner and Dometic antenna .
