Campervan designed for very cold weather : Tourne

Campervan designed for very cold weather : Tourne Tourne is a young campervan brand, born in Slovenia yet designed for the demanding climate and tastes of the Scandinavian market, The level of standard equipment on the campervan includes awning, towbar, reversing camera, additional floor heating and extensive insulation.

Tourne has designed its camper with the most practical (and popular) layout, with a transverse double bed in the rear (measuring 190 x 140 cm), a front living room plus a kitchen and a toilet/shower in the central cabin area.

The rear bed can also be transformed into a large load compartment. This is still accessible when the bed is being used thanks to a sliding panel separating it from the living area. The sleeping area is equipped with loudspeakers and two USB sockets. And users can adjust both the intensity and tint of the lighting – even while in bed.

The lounge and dining area creates a sociable seating space for five people thanks to the comfortable swivelling armchairs. The dining area can be converted into a second double bed thanks to Tourne’s "Dream4" system, making it a proper four-berth campervan.

The kitchen has drawers mounted on oversized roller tracks to run smoothly and handle capacities of up to 60 kg. It also has a 90-litre compressor fridge, plus a stainless steel dual-burner cooker and sink.

The bathroom is made of a robust thermoformed moulding and in the shower has a transverse rod for hanging wet clothes.

Tourne uses a hybrid heating system with a Webasto Evo 4kW diesel heater, with a Whale gas hot water system. Both are located under the floor so they are protected and don’t steal living or storage space on board.

For insulation, 33 mm Armaflex foam mats are used on the walls, ceiling, wheel arches, inside doors and inside the frame uprights. The vehicle floor is also insulated and has a memory effect, so it feels soft, but resumes its natural shape after being walked on.

A robust HDF laminated panel is used to cover the kitchen worktop, table and wall unit doors. The wall units are self-supporting and ventilated; and since the units are fixed to the supports they are also easily removable if desired.

Furniture parts are cut by an adjacent joinery. Double-insulated glass windows are flush with the bodywork and fitted with both mosquito nets and blinds (Dometic-Seitz S7). Skylights are installed as standard over the living and sleeping areas. The wardrobe has an adjustable shelf system to maximise storage.

Both the fresh and waste water tanks hold 100 litres, and are positioned under the insulated floor, with the fresh water heated by the hot air ducting.

The LPG cylinder pressure regulator is equipped with an anti-collision valve that interrupts the gas flow in the event of an impact; and an on-board device reveals any possible gas leaks or fumes.
