master bedroom from the kids’ bunks”
RIGHT TO LEFT The galley kitchen is stylish and well-equipped; dinette opposite has room for the whole family at meal timestaken care of by a slide-out pantry, cutlery
and pot drawers, as well as overhead
cupboards. A 220L Dometic fridge/freezer
keeps your food fresher for longer.
As previously mentioned, the dinette has
a height-adjustable table. Apart from being
able to move it up and down, it can also go
left, right, in and out. Taking up residence
under the seats are two lead crystal batteries
which supply power to the van. These are
supplemented by a pair of 150W solar panels,
while a 40A Voltech battery charger makes
sure you leave home with your batteries full
of juice.
Below the cushions are a double 240V
GPO, twin USB and 12V socket as well as an
LPG gas detector and fire extinguisher. There
are overhead lockers above the dinette,
one of which houses the electrical panel,
comprising of fuses, hot water controls,
water pump and battery monitoring.it's located right in the middle, conveniently
separating the master bedroom from the
kids’ bunks. The colour scheme is modern,
with clean, gloss white overhead cupboards,
laminate benchtops, acrylic splashback and
timber doors.
Charcoal 'pleather' on the couches
complements the darker, hard wearing
vinyl flooring and LED lighting throughout
means there are no dark corners. Blue mood
lighting above the overhead cupboards adds
a nice, modern touch.
Those who don't mind swinging a spatula
will feel right at home in the kitchen.
Bench space is limited, but with the height-
adjustable dining table just behind you,
I'm sure you'll find a way. There's a large
stainless steel sink, complete with a filtered
water tap, a four-burner cooktop (3 x gas, 1 x
electric) and grill, a 25L Sphere microwave
and recessed rangehood. Kitchen storage isbunk beds. Filler necks for the water tanks
along with an external shower are located
just forward of the wheel arch. The tunnel
boot at the front can also be accessed from
the driver's side.STEP INSIDE
At 6.5m (21ft 4in), this isn't the smallest van
on the block, but it's by no means the biggest
either. But clever design has enabled the
team at Wonderland to fit a queen-sized
bed, two bunks, an L-shaped dinette that
can convert into an additional bed, galley
kitchen as well as an ensuite bathroom,
complete with its own shower cubicle, toilet
and vanity unit. Phew, I nearly ran out of
breath on that one!
Let's have a bit of a closer look at exactly
what goes into this family-friendly layout.
