RV REVIEW
But here ’ s something cool : the Suit of Armour ’ s switches are wireless and removable . When you flick a switch , whether it be for an internal or external light , or even the water pump , the switch sends a signal to a receiver under the bed , which then activates the appliance . And as part of the Smart Power Management System , there ’ s a digital display on the wall between the Dometic compressor fridge-freezer and the dinette which provides at-aglance info regarding the battery state of charge .
A microwave sits in the void above the fridge but Harvok is , apparently , going to provide a facia on future vans that better seals the space between the microwave and the surrounding cabinetry – our review van had a gap .
The bathroom , however , looks terrific . It contains a linen cupboard , a washing machine beneath the vanity bench top , a washbasin , and a nearside fibreglass shower cubicle . The cassette toilet sits on the offside .
My impressions of the interior : different , interesting , functional and attractive . Yes , there ’ s a couple small things that I ’ d change – the microwave facia and the sound system placement – but on the whole , it ’ s a good looking beast .
SUMMING UP
In my book , any caravan that approaches things differently is worth a poke under the hood . With its 48V electrical system , faultlessly welded panels and , of course , all the of main features and fittings you ’ d expect of a modern caravan , the 19ft 6in Harvok Suit of Armour is quite a unique addition to the Australian caravan market . It was even a 2022 , 2023 and 2024 winner of a Good Design Award , as well as a German Design Award winner .
If you haven ’ t checked out the Suit of Armour before , and you ’ re on the hunt for a new van , I ’ d put it on the list .
