About The Van: 1978 Viscount Royal
Meet "The Royal"—a stunning 1978 Viscount Royal that’s a true standout. This classic beauty has withstood over 40 years of adventure and is still in excellent condition, including its original paintwork and canvas annexe, both of which have been well maintained. These iconic vans are hard to come by in such pristine condition and bring a unique charm that newer models just can’t match.
Versatility at its Best:
Our caravans are designed for flexibility—whether you’re staying in a caravan park with power and water or heading off-grid into nature, The Royal is equipped to provide comfort no matter where you’re staying.
Key Features:
Sleeping arrangements: Comfortable rear double bed and a cozy single camping bunk in the front, ideal for 3 adults (plus a camp mat can be provided for a child to sleep on the floor).
Off-grid ready: 12V lighting and a powered water pump for ultimate independence.
Original kitchen setup: Featuring the iconic Wedgewood three burner gas stovetop and oven with rangehood, plus a two-way fridge running on LPG/240V.
Cooling & comfort: Powerful 240V/12V fans to keep you cool (upon request), and a 240V deep freezer for your perishables when plugged in to mains power.
Unique interior: The original L-shaped dinette with a removable table adds a perfect retro touch.
Easy towing: At just 16ft long and equipped with override mechanical brakes, The Royal is incredibly easy to tow with a large sedan, SUV, or 4x4—no fancy equipment needed.
Why Choose The Royal?
If you’re seeking a caravan that turns heads, sparks conversations, and offers a unique, nostalgic vibe, The Royal is for you. Unlike the sea of similar-looking, modern caravans, The Royal stands out—both in style and history.
