Industry News: Stealth Caravans launch first model
Flying in under the radar, Profibre Products – a specialist composite manufacturer of bus, truck and train components – have launched their best kept secret: the new Stealth Evo XR6 caravan.
Together with a few selected caravan dealers from Natal, Gauteng and the Western Cape, Caravan & Outdoor Life was invited to attend the launch at their premises in Pine town, KZN, in early October.
Their first model is an upmarket 3-berth pop-top on-road caravan aimed specifically at the most popular size of caravan range – a gap left largely vacant by shenanigans going on in the industry of late.
When we say “first” caravan, we mean Profibre’s first completed caravan being supplied directly to caravan dealers. We have learned that Profibre has, in fact, been building fibreglass caravan bodies – or more specifically off-road caravan bodies – on behalf of a leading off-road company for some years.
Priced at R285 000, the Stealth Evo XR6 is more expensive than other caravans in this size and category, but this can be justified when one considers the new, revolutionary method of construction.
So much thought has gone into the design that they have managed to design out complications and end up with absolute simplicity in putting this caravan together.
They have introduced a new-found strength in developing a chassis, have added extra body width, and have found some really nice fittings − which include an upmarket Defy twin-burner gas cooker and a new Defy 158-litre fridge freezer.
