RV REVIEW SPECIAL TOUR OF THE KNIGHT LE SUBSCRIBE MAJESTIC KNIGHT Majestic Caravans has been building caravans for going on 20 years. It nowadays has six caravan models in its line-up, each built in Majestic’s unassuming Campbellfield, Vic, factory, with numerous layout options available. The Knight is the ‘baby’ of the bunch, Majestic Caravans’ entry-level van that nonetheless offers all of the expected features and a good amount of living space. There are 20 layouts from which to choose, from an 18ft centre- door ensuite van to 19ft 6in rear door models, and even a 22ft 6in family van with dinette. In recent times, Majestic Caravans came out with the Knight Limited Edition. This van, as Majestic co-owner Liz Naumoska told me, was all about value. Majestic Caravans set about packaging as much gear as they could into this van so that it effectively sat between the Knight entry level van and the next highest model in the line-up. Our 18ft 6in tandem-axle review van was a centre-door model with a conventional layout that incorporated a front queen-size bed, offside kitchen and nearside L-shaped lounge, and a full-width rear bathroom. The van certainly gave a positive first impression. I was struck by how light, bright and spacious it was. Closer inspection of the ply CNC-cut furniture revealed tight joins, well-applied silicone, and nothing out of the ordinary or that cried ‘unprofessional’. Above the bed, Majestic has fitted a padded lining on the front wall, which looked quite classy; however, I would prefer the light switch that’s been fitted in the middle to be moved somewhere a little less visually obtrusive. / 23
