Another observation about the Micron when under tow: it almost turns on a dime. That was my experience with it hitched to my MU-X. The van was very manoeuvrable, which I think is an under-appreciated aspect of caravans. Manoeuvrability, and whether the van can be easily turned around, such as if you take a wrong turn, is important – and that’ s another big tick in the Micron’ s favour, along with the general stable towing characteristics that it exhibited. But then again, that’ s what I’ d expect from a top-tier manufacturer such as Royal Flair Caravans.
SPLIT BATHROOM LAYOUT
The interior of the Micron really shows what can be achieved in compact spaces, without compromising on the important things. Obviously there are going to be some differences between a 16ft 6in caravan and a 20ft-plus caravan … but all the important bases are covered. There’ s even a split bathroom! How does a manufacturer fit a split bathroom inside a compact caravan with a rear entry door? That’ s part of what this makes caravan unique.
Let’ s look at it a little more closely. The layout begins with the bathroom split across the nearside and offside, either side of the entry door. The shower is immediately to the nearside as you climb up the pull-out step( there’ s no recessed step – the door sits flush with the floor). It’ s a spacious, moulded-fibreglass cubicle complete with stylish stainless steel tapware and a 12V extraction hatch.
