2017 Regent Monarch Semi Off-Road 26ft - Slide-Out Room - Weber Outdoor Kitchen - BMPRO Electrical - Solar - Rear Bunk Layout with Large Under-Bunk Storage

2017 Regent Monarch custom build, approximately 26ft body length, tandem axle semi off-road configuration, slide-out room for expanded living space, rear bunk sleeping arrangement with large storage area beneath.



Description

The Regent Monarch is an Australian-built family caravan from a manufacturer with a solid reputation for practical layouts and quality construction at the mid-tier price point. Regent is now part of the Apollo RV group, Australia's largest RV manufacturer, which provides ongoing parts and service support. This 2017 Monarch is a custom-built 26ft tandem axle semi off-road configuration built in December 2017 at Regent's Campbellfield, Victoria facility. When new, a Regent Monarch of this size and specification would have retailed for $65,000 to $80,000 depending on options. The semi off-road build means this van is designed to handle dirt roads, beach camping, and unsealed tracks while maintaining stable towing characteristics. The tandem axle configuration (two axles, four wheels) provides excellent weight distribution and towing stability at highway speeds.



From the photos, this Monarch presents in excellent exterior condition. The silver and grey composite cladding is clean and straight with no visible dents, delamination, or panel damage. The red Monarch swoosh graphics and branding are intact and unfaded. The dark lower skirt protection panels show no significant stone damage or wear. The compliance plate confirms an ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) of 3,500kg, with a tare weight of 3,103kg and ball weight of 247kg. This means the van requires a tow vehicle with a minimum rated towing capacity of 2,000kg and a tow ball rating of at least 300kg (to accommodate payload). The available payload is 397kg, which is adequate for typical family touring with water, food, clothing, and camping gear, though families carrying heavy items like generators or extensive toolkits should monitor weights carefully. The tyres are specified at 550 kPa cold pressure at maximum load, reflecting the substantial weight and the importance of proper tyre maintenance.



The standout feature visible in photos is the front slide-out outdoor kitchen, a premium inclusion rarely seen on caravans in this price bracket. The unit slides out from the A-frame tunnel boot area and features a heavy-duty aluminium checkerplate benchtop with an integrated stainless steel sink and drainer connected to the van's water supply. A Weber Q2200 (or similar Q-series) gas barbecue is mounted on a swing-out arm adjacent to the sink, connected to the van's LPG supply. Below the benchtop are two lockable storage doors for utensils, condiments, and outdoor cooking supplies. This setup transforms meal preparation at camp, keeping cooking smells and heat outside while providing a full outdoor kitchen workspace. The electrical system is another premium feature: a BMPRO BatteryPlus35-II-HA battery management system with integrated MPPT solar controller manages charging from solar panels (visible on the roof), mains power, and the tow vehicle's alternator via a separate BMPRO ProBoost40 DC-DC charger. BMPRO is a leading Australian RV electrical brand, and this system supports both lead-acid and lithium battery types, providing flexibility for future upgrades. The compliance plate references a slide-out room, a significant feature that expands the interior living space when parked by extending a section of the van outward on motorized or manual slides. Vendor advises the van includes rear bunk sleeping arrangement with a large storage area beneath the bunks, making this a practical family layout for those who need both sleeping capacity and room for camping gear, sporting equipment, or touring supplies.
