Quote: "Plus the Ultimate is butt ugly!".......surely this is a matter of personal opinion. You have yours and I have
mine; no worries. Just remember, the shaped nose cone is more than just a "look" (be it considered okay or "butt ugly"). No, the shape is MUCH MORE than that. There has NEVER been a recorded case of a vehicle towing an Ultimate suffering a smashed back window. Any rocks thrown up either go under the camper (it sits quite high above the ground), or, if they DO hit the upper section, they bounce off to the side of the road.
As for , Quote: "Fat & smoke inside not too keen on that idea.",
well what can I say.......we've had ours for over 6 years now. We've NEVER cooked anything fatty inside on the stove. It gets used (usually only in crappy weather) for boiling the kettle, cooking toast under the griller, and maybe boiling up some veges to go with the meat that I
cook outside either on the BBQ plate over the fire or (if fires not permitted/possible) on the gas ring.
The TVan (as some have already stated), has very limited storage area whereas the "boot" in the nose cone of the Ultimate has a relatively huge amount of space. Add to that the 4 storage compartments on the sides and the drawers, pantry and under
seat storage areas and we have enough room for all the stuff necessary for an extended trip for our family of 5.
Too easy.
