On the opposite side, by the entry door, is the Waeco 218-litre 2-door fridge/freezer. Above it is the flat screen TV, which can be seen easily from either the bed or front seats.

n the bedroom there’s not only room for the bed but also small cabinets on either side. Given there really isn’t room to fit bedside drawers, a neat little feature is hinged lids to get to the compartment underneath. Each is large enough for something like an iPad, which can be charged from the adjacent 12 V/5 V USB sockets. As above both the kitchen bench and front lounge, a row of overhead lockers runs across the top of the bed. In its standard form the bed measures 1.88 m x 1.47 m (6’ 2” x 4’ 8”) but that can be extended to 1.95 m (6’ 5”) using a supplied bolster. Like many a bed base, this one can be lifted to get to the storage area underneath. I know the Paradise team has spent some time on this apparently simple matter because the bed base is very easy to lift –
Top: The bed and kitchen are in the slideout and move as one unit. The bed is basically queen sized and walk-past room to access the full-width rear bathroom is excellent. When retracted the bed is easily lifted for bathroom access. Above: The fridge is a massive 218-litre 12-volt compressor unit that’s efficient and does away with the hassles of a 3-way fridge. The swivel TV is easily seen from the dinette or bedroom, too.
