Gday,
Within the next 12 months we are planning the "Big Trip". We currently have an old Viscount Aerolite Poptop that I'm sure would fall to bits if we towed it too far or anywhere off road behind the cruiser. It has been a great van for short trips on the blacktop but it is not very robust. We will sell it and buy a second hand poptop of about 15 to 16 ft long. My question is "what van?" There are so many to choose from! We want to be able to confidently go to plcaes without fear of demolishing the van. We wont be "bush bashing" but we wont be confined to the bitumen either. Im sure there are many beautiful and interesting places to see that have rough corrugated access roads. We want to see these places towing the poptop. Do we need an "offroad" model? Are there vans with better chassis and suspensions than others? Im sure there are and Im sure there are many readers who have many different poptops who have done such trips. Would love to get some ideas on makes, models and setups. It must be a poptop and around 15 to 16' long.
Thanks, Jorgy.
