RV REVIEW
ONE-PIECE COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION

There are seven models in Crusader Caravans ’ Musketeer range . It appears to be a thoughtful and detailed line-up of caravans . From the single-axle , centre-door Musketeer Porthos , through to a suite of tandem-axle Musketeers that includes the 21ft 10in Musketeer Palace , the Melbourne manufacturer seems to have covered all needs and wants with this one range alone .
The rear-door Crusader Musketeer Aramis is built in the same way as the other vans in the line-up and appeared to have everything we needed for a shakedown run to my favourite getaway on Victoria ’ s Ninety Mile Beach .
INSIDE THE ARAMIS
The layout of the Musketeer Aramis doesn ’ t break new ground but it is thoughtfully executed . Not a rough edge to be found . Here and there , you ’ ll find elegant , curved mouldings that act as trim to finish off joins in the internal fitout .
The layout features a north-south , queen-size bed in the nose of the van . It is surrounded by overhead lockers and wardrobes . The CNCcut cabinetry here is next to perfect . No traditional bedside tables are provided . Instead , there are a couple of niches complete with 240V and 12V powerpoints . Underneath those , Crusader has fitted bedside drawers .
