After thousands of kilometres of testing, Profibre Products have launched the hybrid gravelroader versions of their Stealth Caravans.
Known as the Evolution XHR594 and XHR533, these caravans are a cross-over version of the Evo XR range of Stealth products.
The hybrid is a cross-over caravan to accommodate users that want a gravel road capable van in the Evolution (Evo) range of caravans produced under the Stealth brand by Profibre Products Pty Ltd.
The Stealth EVO XHR range was officially unveiled at the East Coast Radio House and Garden Show at the Durban Exhibition Centre, where it was on display at the Natal Caravans & Marine stand.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
The H denotes the Hybrid nature of this caravan for on-road and off-road use.
For the XHR594, the 59 is the length (5.9 metres) and 4 is because it’s a four-berth caravan. The same goes for the shorter XHR533 version, being 5.3m long and can sleep three people.
Garry Coady, Managing Director of Profibre Products, tells Caravan & Outdoor Life: “The reason I emphasise the company Profibre Products is that many people are asking who makes Stealth Caravans, with some professing that it is an import.
“It’s not an import… it is manufactured and supported by Profibre Products, a company that has been around for the last 25 years and based in Pinetown KZN.
“We have previously supplied caravan bodies to a well-known South African Manufacturer for more than 10 years.
“We have a wealth of knowledge, so anyone considering purchase of a new Stealth can be assured of a company with an exceptional track record in the industry.”
GOING GRAVEL
Although the current road caravans produced under the Stealth Evo XR range are capable of limited gravel road use up to 50km in a single journey, on reasonably maintained gravel road surfaces, Garry says buyers sought a caravan more capable of extended gravel road use.
