RV REVIEW

WELCOME HOME

Majestic Caravans has been in the business of building caravans for more than 20 years. That’ s two decades spent evolving with the caravan industry, applying new build techniques or refining existing ones. The Tiara was the fist Majestic I reviewed, back in 2008, when the internal cabinetry of virtually every van in the country was hand-built and customers could opt for any cladding type provided it was ribbed white aluminium. Back then, having a second 100Ah deep-cycle battery in your van along with a 1000W inverter was considered the height of technological luxury. How things have changed.

I was reminded of all this when I was hauling the new Majestic Navigator 196 along the freeway towards Torquay, a surf town at the start of Victoria’ s Great Ocean Road. I wanted to take a look at Bells Beach – it’ d been years – and so I made Bells my day’ s destination. With the Navigator 196 on the back of my borrowed Amarok, I was a pretty happy camper.
