KCH, just catching up on the post's,
Ran my offroad van [Trakmaster] with air bag independant sus. and quad shocks
last year all over the Kimberleys. lots of corrugations with out a problem. Speed
was kept UP not down. Followed my tour leaders advice and ran 75 to 95ks on the dirt. Try travelling at 30/40 ks on corrugations and you will destroy your van
and
suspension! Saw a couple of vans on the Gibb travelling slowly and they were having a hard time of it. Try it yourself at higher speeds as long as you are
comfortable with your own rig, in my case the 80 and 2 tonne van was happiest
85/95 where safe and not one problem.
