You looking for trouble?
Take your van to the Demolition
Derby instead....lol
Whereas you might even be able to tow it in....Will you be able to tow it out????

Don't take any notice of Willem, he's in one of his moods tonight.
As a sensible person, I would suggest you take a 12kg hammer to the van before you leave
home. The result will be very similar!
LOL

I have taken a camper trailer in with no problems, but is was a very robust high clearance c/t and i have been off roading for 30yrs,it can be done but not recomended unless your very experianced with a very good off road c/t a caravan would fall to bits and hang up on all the very tight turns in the river bed.

I snaped a leef spring on the camper trailer @ 20kph & it took 1.5 days to get back to the Alice with the axil held together by the hand winch.
go for it if your feeling lucky (or rich)

Naaa.....Buls bleep t,
Give me a call before you go and Ill come out for a laugh!!!
Seriously, it wouldnt hurt your van if its an off road job but you probably wouldnt make it ( youd get bogged ) and it would be really hard work! Even worse you would cop so much bleep for even trying! Dont do it!

Same as above, but a properly prepared camper trailer with little weight towed by a capable 4wd can do this track Easily. Plenty of grunt is needed when dragging a trailer along the many Km's of river stones/pebbles that sucks forward motion from even a vehicle on it's own.
