Caravan World – May 2019

FAR LEFT TO RIGHT Plenty of room for cooks; 186L Dometic fridge

keeps the chill; vanity cabinet can host a washing machine underneath

bathroom. The dinette layout is fairlyb
but the contoured cushions are certainly
comfortable and I always like a panorama
window for watching the world go by.
Between the seats is a multi-fold table and
below the rear seat are both a 240V mains
powerpoint and a 12V outlet.

CREATURE COMFORTS
Sunland’s tried-and-trusted logic certainly
works here. A 2.03m x 1.52m (6ft 2in x 5ft)
island bed sits neatly between the bedhead
that consists of the usual overhead lockers,
side wardrobes and bedside drawers. Like the
rest of the van, the door and drawer handles
are all of the easy-to-grab variety.
Fresh air and natural light are assured by
the large windows on either side but instead
of the more common marine-style hatch, a
Camec Four Seasons hatch has been installed
in the ceiling.
Some caravan bathroom layouts do look
similar. This one may look a bit familiar but
the nearside shower cubicle is a Sunland
design and one with a purpose-designed
drainage system that works well.
Facing the shower cubicle is a Dometic
cassette toilet with a large (for a bathroom)
window above for ventilation. That leaves
the space across the rear wall for the vanity
cabinet that includes a moulded-in sink and
a large shelved cupboard which could also
be used for an optional washing machine.
Overhead lockers and an offside corner
cupboard fill the rest of the space and offer
some very useful storage.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Sunland’s Blue Heeler has been around for
a few years but I reckon this latest edition
is great for those who would like to get into
a Sunland caravan but cannot stretch the
budget to the Phoenix or Longreach models.
It certainly has all the essentials for offroad
caravan travel but is also relatively light
weight (ie requires a cheaper tow vehicle).
And, for those who want more, there’s a long
options list (see breakout page 132).
