Hi All,

I did a forum search and nothing really answered my query so I thought I'd start a fresh thread. I have had a Jayco Eagle outback which had excellent ground clearance and this was followed by a Millard Horizon on which I had the axle "underslung" to increase the ground clearance. Many vans I've seen scrape their stabilisers etc.on tricky driveways, ferry ramps and the like as well as on tracks where unusual bumps and holes exist hence my desire for good ground clearance.

I'm in the market for a small Windsor Rapid (RA381 etc.) which I'd like to tow behind my 4WD on occasional poor quality roads or gravel roads. The ads I've seen show typical bitumen road vans with limited ground clearance. What I'd like to know is, (given that some Rapids are "off road" by name and have independent suspension, and others apparently have leaf spring and axle based suspension) is it possible to raise the ride height on the axle models by underslinging the axle and if so, which models are the ones with axles? Is it just the so called "off road" models that have independent suspension?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Oz.
