G'day Signman
OK - why do you reckon they are a waste of money?
But first I'll explain why I went the CT way. Travelled with a tent for yonks. Roof rack and back of Cruiser packed to the roof line was the norm. Then tried a few years with a box trailer to cart the gear and left the roof rack at
home. Knees not as good as they used to be and getting the gear on and off the roof was becoming harder and harder. Then one year we travelled with friends who had a CT. As it happened it was a wet trip. Suddenly being off the ground when it was wet looked very attractive. So we thought - we are towing anyway so why not just get a CT. After much research and trying to get out of it as cheaply as possible we bought a soft floor model. Just couldn't justify the $ being asked for hard floor versions.
Having a CT offers both advantages and disadvantages (some significant ones in the latter
camp). Overall I'm quite happy with the way we've gone.
However we still run an annual
Easter trip for our club and it is a tent/swag only affair due to the nature of the driving. So I'm not a CT only sort of person. If I ever went back to the
Vic high country I'd leave the CT at
home.
Signman - I agree with you to some extent because paying more for a CT than a small car is, to my way of thinking, absolutely ludicrous.
So over to you - please explain.
Cheers from the Moose
