THE IMITATION GAME
MANAGING EDITOR
Max Taylor
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, or so they say.
And it’s true that in the RV industry, ideas are occasionally
‘borrowed’ from one builder to the next.

However, there is still plenty of fresh thinking. I recall a pop-
top by Coronet RV that offered a full-width rear bathroom
with a solid bathroom wall (courtesy of some fold-up ply
panels), rather than a vinyl gusset. At the time, I thought that
was pretty neat.

Almost 20 years ago, Windsor developed the first of the
fold-out bed-ends, a concept still in use by manufacturers
today. Adriana Manson
And now, as reported in this issue, Coromal is taking things
a step further with the new chassis design found on its
Pioneer Evolution range. In an industry that uses RHS steel
almost exclusively as a caravan foundation, Coromal’s ‘FRV’
chassis seems to be a welcome innovation. Will it spark
wider customer demand? Rob Mangoni + Will Blazejewski
This month, we’ve also gone back to basics: understanding
your tow vehicle’s weight restrictions and some safe towing
tips. However often these topics are covered, there always
seems to be confusion concerning the dos and don’ts. Next
month, we’ll cover in detail the weights of RVs and what the
terminology means.
Until then, safe travels.
