SMALL PACKAGES, BIG THINGS

Many an offroad caravan built in Australia has a somewhat characteristic look about it, both inside and out. There are, however, some that have a more distinctive appearance, a good example being Royal Flair’s Raptor which certainly stands out in the crowd for a number of reasons. Apart from the distinctive colour and decal scheme, this particular Raptor model has an external body length of just 4.1m (13ft 6in) which given the van has tandem axles, does give the van a somewhat odd but certainly very purposeful look about it.

REASON FOR BEING

There’s a very good reason for the purposeful look, the prototype model was built for company owner, Bill Deralas. A man who likes to do a bit of huntin’ n’ fishin’ but who desires a few no fuss home comforts in addition to a few ‘toys’ as well.
