SMV 24 LSR - 1977

We were commissioned by Glaravans to pay tribute to the original SMV. By largely using the original elements, we have kept the interior mostly intact while adding modern Glaravans technology.

This SMV lacks nothing; with climate control operable via the App and a new chassis with mover, this seemingly old beast is packed with contemporary features. A practical long sleeper with a V-cut for easy exit, a compost toilet, and a cozy seating area complete this caravan. The caravan has a completely new chassis, which means it no longer has electric brakes but modern technology.
