RV FEATURE
The body of this Camelot was built tough . It was manufactured from EcoLite fibreglass sandwich panels featuring three layers : fibreglass on the inside and outside , and XPS closed-cell structural foam in between , creating a frameless body sealed against the elements . It ' s rock solid and looks neat .
Around the armoured body were many windows for airflow and light . There ' s a pressure hatch in the roof , hatches for the ensuite and above the bed area . A 170W solar panel and a Dometic digital antenna were also up top .
Features for making travel easier included a picnic table , an entertainment hatch and a tunnel boot to store things like fishing rods and camp chairs . It was a solid bit of kit ! I also noticed that the gas bayonet was mounted neatly into the body of the van , near the tunnel boot – this design was a massive improvement over those chassismounted bayonet couplings .
Of course , a castle on wheels such as this needs a sturdy undercarriage . This started with a SuperGal 6in A-frame and chassis rails . Mechanicals include leafspring suspension , an axle rated to 2600kg , and Primal Rush machined black alloy rims shod with 145 / 75 R16 AT tyres .
SUMMING UP
As you can see from the images , we went a wee bit offroad with the Camelot and it handled the mud and slushy conditions with aplomb . It ' s worth a gander for anyone wanting a classy , comfy and cosy castle .
