EXTERNAL STORAGE GORV’S VERDICT
The external storage compartments are lined
in checkerplate, so you can just throw your
gear inside without worrying too much about
damaging anything. The fitout was equal to, if not better, than
some of this van’s competitors who have been
building these rigs for years.
The awning is fully electric. It can be opened
by pushing a button inside the van, or by
using a smartphone app.
The 12V system is comprised of dual 120Ah
deep-cycle batteries and two 170W solar
panels on the roof, while a 100L freshwater
tank and a 50L grey water tank have also
been fitted.
The Gross Vehicle Mass of our review van had
been upgraded from 4495kg to 5000kg, which
required larger rear wheels and stiffer
leafspring suspension. Future models,
however, will come with dual rear wheels to
facilitate a five-tonne GVM.
Of course, this means the Naralan can’t be
driven on a standard car licence. A Light Rigid
licence will be required to pilot the rig.
There are plenty of other things that Regal
has done – space precludes a rundown of
each and every feature – but as an example:
electric brakes for towing a get-around vehicle
have been fitted.
Personally, I would opt for a fixed dining
table, but that is a personal choice and, no
doubt, Regal could accommodate requests
such as these.
