NIGHTY NIGHT
At the front of the van, the main bedroom
sports a queen-sized pillowtop bed (yep,
it was as comfy as it sounds!), mirrored
robes with ample hanging space, overhead
cupboards and bedside tables with more
storage underneath.
A sneaky little cut-out facing the bed in
the bottom of the robe provides a great little
nook to store your book and reading glasses.
To help you read that book, each side of the
bed gets their own LED reading light. For
the storage of big and bulky items, the whole
bed hinges up with the assistance of a pair
of gas struts.
Located beside the bed on both sides
are 240V power sockets and USB charging
points. Considering everything else is so well
thought out and colour coordinated in the
interior, the black USB sockets stood out like
the proverbial.
