RV FEATURE
The owners of Regal Caravans built themselves this impressive beast .
One other thing I liked was that the name of the van – Regal RSV – had been laser-cut into the chassis and given LED backlighting so that the name illuminates in red . Very eyecatching , especially at night !
GT AND THE JEWEL
Regal Caravans is also a dab hand at motorhome construction . The company turned its attention to motorhomes about five years ago , and it ’ s been full steam ahead .
The Mercedes Sprinter-based GT is a B class conversion which , if I ’ m honest , wasn ’ t as packed with custom ideas as the caravans , but it ’ s a lovely van nonetheless . Aside from the obviously strong and considered construction , I first noticed the ‘ whirr-bang ’ had been taken out of the ‘ whirr-bang ’ sliding door . I ’ m not sure if that ’ s just a Sprinter thing , but in any case , your caravan park neighbours would be pleased .
There ’ s only so much you can do with a van-based conversion such as this ; however , Regal has fitted an honest to goodness club lounge in the rear . Sure , the club lounge precludes access to and from the rear doors , but you can get simple sideways-facing lounges that form a double bed instead , if you ’ d like to maintain that rear access . The club lounge in this layout , however , is attractive and functional . Because the lounge doubles as a bed ( with the table lowered to form part of the base ), I noted that the seat cushions were sensibly flat . Of course , Regal provides an infill cushion too .
