RV REVIEW
CHECK OUT THE 2020 TERRA SPORTZ!
�
Nova Caravans has been building its
dedicated offroad caravan, the Terra Sportz,
since 2012. The Terra Sportz of today,
however, is more advance and streamlined
than the offroader launched eight years ago.
The 2020 Terra Sportz comes standard with
G&S Chassis Control Rider Stage 4 airbag
independent suspension, Nova’s Pro-Al walls,
the new Dometic Dust Reduction System, and
even disc brakes.
STEPPING INSIDE
There are obvious aspects to the Nova Terra
Sportz that would appeal to most caravanners;
however, I appreciate the evidence of continual
improvement. This can be found in the fit and
finish of the cabinetry, the overall build quality,
and the internal aesthetic.
Last year, Nova introduced a new design for
the Terra Sportz’s soft-close drawers, in which
some of them would ‘wrap around’ the sink’s
plumbing and other obstacles, and this can be
found in the 2020 model.
Our review Terra Sportz was the 19ft 6in
rear-entry model, known as the 196-1R, with
a layout comprised of a front bedroom,
nearside kitchen, offside cafe-style dinette,
and rear ensuite.
The bedroom gets good marks. I was
pleasantly surprised to discover wireless
charging points either side of the bed. These
only work for new(ish) phones that support this
function; however, there is also a USB point
located within this charger for older phones.
