VALUEFORMONEY“Relatively speaking,
it scores very well”SELF-SUFFICIENCY“Budgetary factors kick in here but
this would improve with options”LIVEABILITY“Is this the sort of van you could
walk into, sit down and relax?
I think so.”SUITABILITY
FORINTENDEDTOURING“Sunland has plenty of experience
with offroad caravans”LAYOUT“Most things are where they should
be and there’s nothing major
that is oddly placed”QUALITYOFFINISH“Sunland isn’t known for using
inferior components and this
van is no exception”BUILDQUALITY“Built to Sunland’s high standard”CREATURECOMFORTS“Nothing major left out”INNOVATION“Mostly hidden but the weight
factor is one of them”X-FACTOR“Full composite body construction”A fuse panel is mounted in the top panel in
the overhead locker by the microwave, which
does make it a tad awkward to reach.
For those who like to cook on the road,
this kitchen scores quite well. Given the area
between the sink and the entry door, the wall
space makes a handy mounting point for the
24in LED flatscreen TV. Somewhat better than
the more usual place in the bedroom area,
it means minimal head twisting for both the
dinette occupants.
Much of the opposite wall of the van is
occupied by the cafe-style dinette and the
186L Dometic fridge that butts up against thecolours, including the glossy white ceiling.
As with many a contemporary design, there’s
a multitude of shiny LED lights everywhere,
including the ‘bulkheads’, for want of a better
term, above the kitchen and dinette.
A feature of this van is the sizeable
kitchen bench. It comes with the usual items
including a Thetford four-burner hob and
grill, side by side with a stainless steel sink
and a microwave oven above the cooktop. But
there’s still a good chunk of benchtop working
space and, in addition to the two overhead
lockers, there are four soft-close drawers, a
double cupboard and a wire basket pantry.
