slide-out) allows for a large, sensible bedroom
with plenty of storage, a couple of 12V Sirroco
fan, an array of 12V/240V powerpoints, a
flatscreen TV mounted to a swivel arm, and
even a top-loading washing machine tucked
into the cabinetry on the offside.
The slide-out opens at the push of a button, in
the usual way, and it’s then a matter of folding
the split pillowtop mattress down onto the ply
base. A portion of the mattress is folded into a
vertical position at a special seam and
retained by a couple of clips. But setting up the
bed is, literally, a 60-second job – and that
includes the time to open the slide-out.
Now, the space between the cabinets and the
foot of the bed is a little tight; however, this is
because the customer requested a slightly
larger-than-usual split bathroom. This
bathroom is comprised of a big nearside
shower cubicle and an offside toilet/vanity.
As you’d expect, the offside slide-out creates
a massive amount of floorspace when open.
Regal opted not to fit a fixed dining table for
the lounge. Instead, the company provides a
portable table (with benchtop to match the
kitchen bench) that can be stored under the
folding mattress when underway. Naturally,
this table can also be used outside.
The kitchen is fully equipped but bench space in
the Naralan is on the small side; however,
Regal has also fitted an extension piece that
folds out of a cupboard in the entryway – I’ve
seen this setup in other motorhomes before and
it is a great idea. However, when in use it will
block people from freely using the main door.
Fortunately, the Luton peak bed base lifts
easily on gas struts, making entry to and from
the driver’s cab a breeze, so you can always
use the passenger or driver’s door to enter or
exit the motorhome.
