Overview

The Nova REVIVOR 544 is an on-road caravan designed for savvy buyers, including downsizers and first-time caravanners, seeking modern features in a lightweight, classic package tailored for tarmac-bound adventures.

While not a first for Nova, the Pro Plus fibreglass composite walls on the reinvigorated REVIVOR Limited Edition on-road range represents exciting news for astute buyers, with pricing starting from less than $70,000 tow away. Sway control delivers effective modern technology on those sealed road adventures.

Indeed, a well-thought-out package, the REVIVOR 544 performs highly among peers, like the Windsor Genesis, the contemporary New Age Manta Ray and the newly-released Dreamhaven Tourline.


Is the Nova Revivor 544 right for me?

The Nova REVIVOR 544 is best suited for downsizers and first-time new caravan buyers seeking a true modern platform for their on-road adventures.

They want the benefits of evolving construction, like a timber-free body, in a lightweight and manageable on-road package where you don’t need all the bells and whistles to benefit from evolving technology.

Although primarily an on-road model, all Revivor models now also qualify for Nova’s optional Z Series pack, featuring an articulating coupling and independent trailing arm suspension.

Layout, Comfort & Liveability – Will it fit my lifestyle?

A rear-entry design, the Nova Revivor 544 features a full-width ensuite at the rear, a kitchen galley opposite a central dinette and an east-west bed flanked by wardrobes towards the front.

Interior Layout

A wall-to-wall design for the bathroom layout, an island bed with innerspring mattress for the sleeping configuration, and a galley-style kitchen setup all fit within the 5.44m dimensions.

Smart decisions, like foregoing armrests on the lounge in the living and dining area and creative CNC curves in the ensuite bench, keep the ambience uncluttered and airy.

Comfort & Practicality

Modern trims also play a part in accentuating space, with concealed perimeter lighting creating a soft, pleasing aesthetic. That’s supported by a one-piece satin sheen on the ceiling, seen here with light timber-like benchtops and light-coloured cabinets contrasting against the bold upholstery—just one of nine colour palettes available.

Practicality extends to the powered comforts which include the air-conditioner, a 170L compressor fridge and a microwave built into the cabinetry, while four hobs (four gas) enable practical and efficient cooking on and off-the-grid.


Build, Features & Self-Sufficiency – Can it handle my adventures?

Timber-free construction, a 340W solar array, and 190L in water storage provide solid self-sufficiency.

Chassis & Suspension

The Nova REVIVOR 544 Limited Edition’s on-road spec saves a great deal of weight using uncomplicated nine-leaf spring suspension. What’s more, it’s tough enough for 700kg in payload that easily accommodates the 190L in water storage.

Many downsizers and first-time travellers will also appreciate the simplicity of a trusty 50mm ball coupling. Though a DO35 option is available with the Z Series pack.

Power & Water systems

  • 340W array of solar
  • 210Ah AGM battery bank

Storage & exterior design

The new timber-free fibreglass body featuring a one-piece front, roof and rear. The timber-free construction teamed with the seam- free front, roof and rear helps the REVIVOR feel as good as it looks, providing excellent sound and thermal insulation.
