Let's face it - the kitchen is the area that can make or break a motorhome from the point of view of spouse acceptance. Again this is about the best we have seen in any Coaster. First up ALL the glass area has been maintained and the view hasn't been degraded by fitting security grills. Gauzes when needed are Velcroed into position - a good compromise that seems to work OK. This kitchen actually has MORE bench space than the $100,000.00 plus commercial motorhomes. Note how there is space on either side of the sink - so essential when one washes and one wipes. No cheap wood imitation plastic edges here either as it's all real wood! |

| The photo above left is the view in front of the bed looking to the front of the motorhome. The photo above right shows the view looking towards the rear from the front door. You can just see one of the Four Seasons hatches. Designing a working layout in a Coaster is not an easy task as you only have 1800 mm in which to squeeze a heck of a lot of gear. Note how you DON'T bump your head on the overhead cupboards running right around the motorhome. The photo below right shows yet another pull out storage system this time for all the cleaning aids. We really liked the way that Betty has so thoughtfully kept these right away from the food storage areas. |

| Below left shows even more attention to detail. Notice the cut outs along the top? These are purpose built for Amway containers and absolutely maximise the space available. The photo below right shows the tool storage area and all manuals for everything onboard are also stored in there as well close at hand. This in one very organised van! |

| Below is another shot showing the detailed construction used on the overhead lockers. All doors have brass spring type stays and sensibly hinge upwards. Catches are the industry standard press to lock type. The photo on the right below shows the "His and Hers" shoe storage area! A lovely thought. |

| The entertainment unit is absolutely brilliant as everything is located in the one very compact area above the passenger's seat. Once again it is a fully carpet covered drop down unit. Inside is where all the current CD's for a trip are stored. It also houses the CD stacker - a boon for long trips when the passenger/DJ needs a quick snooze! |

The photo above right shows the communication area situated above the driver in the "repair and maintenance" position. This has a piano hinge going all the way along the bottom and is very easy to operate. Note the microphone mounted above the driver's door. Kel and Betty Banks - CMCA 1048 |
