Seating is side by side in the dinette – a layout choice
that makes for a spacious walkway to the bed and
good access to the fridge and internal kitchen

LIVEABILITY

Take the fantastic layout and add almost every

reasonable option and our test 1500 is very

liveable. Our 1500 Remote had it all: a Truma

UltraRapid hot water system that provides hot

water as long as your gas or water last, an inner-

sprung mattress that will have you sleep easy,

and a streamline AC system. There is a high-

mounted TV set (optional) for a morning check

of the news or a nap during the cricket season.

With twin 82L freshwater tanks and a cassette

toilet, you can go off the grid for reasonable

lengths of time. The only thing I feel needs to be

added to take this 1500 to a week-long off-grid

stopover is a touch more solar and maybe a

switch to higher capacity batteries. This is an easy

upgrade after purchase or at the time of ordering.

COMFORT INN

There is no denying that a north-south bed is the

most practical for couples.

You can have your favourite side, you can

get up in the night with minimal disruption

to your partner and typically you get your

own cupboards and windows. Effectively, you

get your spot and they get theirs, equally as

comfortable and liveable.

Sure, it takes up a bit of floor space, but for

a couple on tour, the space lost is a worthwhile

compromise, that doesn’t by any means ruin the

lay-out.

Speaking of being on tour, it is easy to forget

the compact size of the 1500 when looking at

the volume of storage around and under the

bed. It has just enough space for a lap of the

FOR COUPLES. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR FAVOURITE SIDE, YOU CAN GET UP IN THE

NIGHT WITH MINIMAL DISRUPTION TO YOUR PARTNER AND TYPICALLY

YOU GET YOUR OWN CUPBOARDS AND WINDOWS”
