Imotorhome Australia - June 2018

motorhomes the M4 has an island bed at the

rear. Because the entry door is mid way along

the side, the kitchen bench is to the left as you

step inside and it faces a café-style dinette

across the aisle. That leaves the area in front

of the island bed for a combo bathroom on the

driver’s side and a fridge cabinet to the right

of the entry door. Above the cab is a bed that

can be tilted out of the way if not needed, but

because it measures just 1.85 m x 1.0 m (6’ 3”

x 3’ 3”) it is really only a single.

Cooking Up

T

he kitchen bench looks somewhat Euro

sized because the three burner cooker

and grill butts up right against the

stainless steel sink/drainer. The cooker does

have a hinged lid, of course, but the dinette

table is really going to be come the default

food preparation area. Drawers are definitely

the storage theme, with four of various sizes

provided and, of course, a couple of overhead

lockers.

Fridge space isn’t neglected thanks to a good

sized Dometic 190-litre 2-door unit. It’s floor

mounted, so the Sharp Carousel microwave

above is at a reasonably user friendly height

and there is still space for a cupboard above it.

Dining

U

tilising the swivelled cab seats in this

design is definitely a good idea. The

swivelled driver’s seat can be used

with the table and forward-facing dinette seat

behind it, but because of the rather square

shape of the dinette’s cushions the cab seats

There’s no kitchen bench space, so the table becomes the default work area. It’s good to have a full oven and grill, though.
