BENCHMARK
BENCHTOPS
We’ve come to expect a
certain attention to detail
from Roadstar. Does the
finish inside the Sirius live up
to expectations? In some
ways, it exceeds them. Take,
for example, the benchtops.
They’re made of a polymer
known as Hi-Macs. It is said to
be stain and impact-resistant
and, should you manage to
damage it, it can be repaired.
For the Sirius, two 12.5mm
sheets of this material have
been bonded together, then
buffed and polished, over
and again, until the joins have
disappeared. The round
stainless steel sink is
recessed
8
gorv.com.au
into the bench, resulting in a
finish reminiscent of a classy
hotel room.
The dinette is upholstered
in leather, with each lounge
fitted with a Sirius-embossed
headrest that slides up like
the headrests in a car. Very,
very neat.
Beneath the rear lounge,
Roadstar has included a
125Ah Enerdrive B-Tec
lithium battery and matching
charger. You’ll also find the
12V fuses here, along with the
solar regulator for the dual
150W solar
panels mounted on the roof.
Up front, the wardrobes
are of generous proportions,
each with a storage nook
and 240V powerpoint. In fact,
the Sirius has a healthy dose
of both 240V and 12V points
throughout.
Across the rear of the
Sirius is a bathroom with
plenty of storage, including
a large linen press, a washing
machine, toilet and fully-
moulded shower.
The soft-glow LED lighting
throughout the van lends
a pleasant, distinctly classy,
ambience, a description
that applies to
the Sirius as
a whole.
