RV REVIEW | members. The van also gets independent coil suspension. For a van designed to tackle rough roads, I would’ve liked to see some more underbody armour plating, lest the grey water plumbing and various components suffer from gravel rash. To be fair, much of it is strapped up high against the chassis rails, but I’m a cautious fellow. The slide-out kitchen, fitted to the front nearside, is a welcome addition and I loved the mini Waeco drawer fridge on the end. Up front, you’ll find a couple of 4kg gas cylinders on the A-frame, along with an Ark READ FULL STORY offroad coupling, which until this review was a piece of hardware I was somewhat unfamiliar with. It’s marketed as a ‘quick hitch’ coupling designed to suit a regular 50mm towball except those with a flat flange. SUMMING UP The Savannah Maxxi 584 represents decent value for money. Considering its towing footprint and weight, the living space is more than generous and the level of features, from the slide-out dinette to the many onboard berths and the bathroom, is about right for the price.
