KEY FEATURES:
Custom built-in fitted kitchen and wardrobe cabinets with plenty of storage space, with soft close cabinets and drawer runners, stylish rattan cane door panels for ventilation, and all painted in a warm vibrant green/blue colour.
An adaptable pull out kitchen unit allows the choice of cooking outside on the portable double burner camping gas stove, or the option to move inside for those rainy days. Stove unit and gas bottle are not fixed for better flexibility. Please note the included stove has had regular use but still works perfectly, and is a perfect fit for the designated space, but you could easily replace it with a new or different similar size one.
Beautiful solid Atlas Cedar wood countertop which retains the natural live edge and grain pattern.
Tile effect, water resistant kitchen backsplash is highlighted by the dimmable under shelf lighting in warm white.
Full sized sink with a nicely pressured flexible cold water tap and 20L fresh water tank under the sink along with a 10L grey water tank.
Dometic CRX50 50L compressor fridge with movable shelves and a small removable freezer compartment.
A 175W roof mounted solar panel charges the 150Ah AGM leisure battery, providing more than enough to keep the battery completely topped up. In addition the leisure battery can also be charged by the 18A DC-DC charger while driving, and by the 20A mains charger when plugged into any power point such as those commonly found on campsites. This mains hook up also allows the use of two 3-pin UK plug sockets and USB charging points mounted inside for any 240V appliances you may need.
Leisure battery life is completely dependent on usage and temperature, so difficult to give exact numbers for. For example – in warm temperatures, with a full fridge running, using evening lights, and charging a phone, the battery runs down by about 10-30% overnight. This then fully recharges back up to 100% within about 1-2 hours of the sun rising, and even faster if you are also driving. The battery never drops below around 90% during the day even when charging multiple USB devices. In cloudy /dark weather this is obviously reduced, but I never had any issues or worries about power consumption, and this set up should be more than enough for your needs but could also be expanded.
The main electronic control panel features a smart battery monitor, dimmable light switches, fan control switch, USB-B, USB-C, and USB-C fast charge sockets all in a convenient central location.
Dimmable ceiling LED lights in warm white

Powerful and efficient remote controlled diesel heater runs from the vehicle fuel tank, warms the van interior within minutes. The entire van is very well insulated throughout which retains warmth well on those cold days. For the heat, a radiant thermal foil lining also helps reflect the excessive heat throughout the day to keep it cool which when combined with the opening windows and ceiling fan makes the sweaty hot nights much more comfortable.
