RV REVIEW
There ’ s a fantastic amount of storage on offer . A checkerplate box sits on the A-frame , with an offside slide-out tray to suit a 2kVA generator . The dual 9kg gas cylinders are within the box , accessible via a lid on the nearside . Meanwhile , you ’ ll find a conventional gal-lined front boot behind the box , as well as a tunnel boot behind that . There is yet another large storage compartment at the rear of the van , underneath the dinette .
Now , the 216-9R Bravo is a large , fully-featured caravan , and all of that comes at a cost in terms of weight . At Tare , it weighs 2823kg , with an unladen ball weight of 234kg . The ATM is 3423kg , giving it a payload capacity of 600kg – a good thing , too , considering all the storage space on offer .
SUMMING UP
Two people would be very comfortable inside the 216-9R tandem-axle Nova Bravo . The manufacturer has left almost no stone unturned in fitting it out for convenient , sensible blacktop caravanning ( with some dirt country roads thrown into the mix ).
