RV REVIEW

ROYAL FLAIR ' S LATEST BEAST!

Fifty years of caravan manufacturing. By any measure, that’ s a lot of time, a lot of experience, and a huge contribution to the industry. It also equates to thousands of caravans and even more memories for those who bought them. I’ m referring to Royal Flair Caravans, a company that has been in the Deralas family for the entire time. Founded by Peter Deralas in 1975, it is run by his son, Billy, as the second generation, and Billy’ s son, Peter, as the third generation.

To mark its 50th anniversary, Royal Flair introduced new features and designs to its most popular models. One of those is this Razor XT. Royal Flair has been building it for eight years, but it now boasts a revised shape and equipment. We took the 17ft 6in model out for a long look. What makes it tick?

AGGRESSIVE AESTHETIC

The Razor XT is unequivocally an offroad caravan. It has a purposeful look and a high stance on the road. Partially, this is due to the shallow‘ V’ shape of the body – new for the Razor XT – but there’ s no denying that it gives the van an aggressive aesthetic.
