RV REVIEW
While there’s plenty of other features to point
out, from the drawbar-mounted freshwater
tap to the dual 95L tanks, it’s the way that
Royal Flair builds this van that intrigues me
the most. Rather than a traditional meranti
timber frame, it is made from one-piece,
20mm marine-grade plywood, which is clad in
3mm composite aluminium.
Compared to other vans in its size class, the
Royal Flair Piazza Sky-Deck is on the heavier
side, at 2739kg Tare, and its ATM of 3239kg
puts it out of range of mid-size 4WDs, such as
the Ford Everest. A 3500kg-rated tow vehicle,
such as the Grand Cherokee, would be the
best bet.
Clever storage arrangement
behind the dinette/bed.
SUMMING UP
The Royal Flair Piazza Sky-Deck is an
attractive caravan, with a first-rate fit-and-
finish, clever touches throughout – especially
that elevated bed – and the Sky-Deck adds
immeasurably to the X-factor.
