I'm thinking of buying a Mitsubishi Canter 4x4 crew cab to convert into a slide-on style camper.
I have a wife and two dirt magnets and have just returned from a year-long around-Oz trip so I have some definite ideas I want to put into action.
If anyone has had any experience with these vehicles (or similar), your
views would be appreciated.
How do they handle? What are they like off-road? On-road? Any camper ideas?
Also, has anyone any experience with kinetic
suspension as opposed to more conventional type?
This will be a long-term road rig for all sorts of on and off-road adventures.

We had some Canters in the RFS. They took offroading with LOTS of weight not bad...
I wouldnt say
WELL, as they arent long term vehicles anymore, but replaced every few yrs.
Bloke up the road from my old place in Kurnell, had Drilling machinery, not light weight things, but stuff on catipillar tracks, and his thing is around 10yr old, still going like stink, not that his service routine is that good.. $$ is more important than servicing...
