RV REVIEW

STEP INSIDE THE SUIT OF ARMOUR

A few weeks ago , a name in the caravanning world caught my attention : Harvok . But are the vans coming off its production line garden variety stick and tin constructions ? No . What sets Harvok apart is that its vans are a monocoque construction . This means no joins where the side and roof panels come together .

Well , almost no joins – we ’ ll get to that . But as we set up the 19ft 6in Harvok Suit of Armour and I began to poke around , I discovered something quite different and rather appealing .

SMART POWER

I said that the Suit of Armour ’ s body work contained no joins , and that ’ s essentially true . Here ’ s the run down : aluminium panels are used for the side , front , rear and roof panels ; however , they are robotically welded together , but in all honesty , on the Suit of Armour I saw , at each corner , the welds are so seamless that the metal looks folded rather than welded . The neatness of the finish is up there with the best I ’ ve seen .
