RV REVIEW

INSIDE THIS POCKET ROCKET!

Royal Flair is targeting budgetconscious caravan buyers with the return of its classic Micron.

With its rear-door entry, the new 16ft 6in Micron retails for about $ 76,000. It’ s classified as an‘ entry level’ caravan, designed to attract a wider range of customers to the Royal Flair brand.

Nowadays, when I think Royal Flair, I think of big, substantial units designed for extended offgrid living, from the Eco-Mate to the new-look Razor XT. But once upon a time, Royal Flair had this little guy in its line-up, though it was built very differently and had a pop-top roof.

But materials and methods have changed since then. Gone is the stick and tin found on the early Micron. This van has just been relaunched with a modern aesthetic and a contemporary construction.

Being only 16ft 6in on a single axle, with a Tare just over 1800kg, it’ s an intriguing proposition for people who don ' t want, need or can’ t afford a big, luxurious number. Given it’ s relatively light weight, it’ s also designed to appeal to customers who don’ t have the means to tow particularly high weights.
