Hi folks. Retiring shortly & plan on hitting the road for a couple of years, or maybe for good. Never owned a 4wd or a caravan!! Can you believe it ?? Been checking out the forum & it seems to be almost unanimous that I should be looking at a turbo diesel. I don't have any particular type of caravan or any particular model of 4wd in mind at this stage. I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with. (1) Should I choose the type of caravan I want so that I have a better idea of weight etc before I look at the 4wd ?? (2) At this stage I imagine most of my travels will be on sealed roads or on "good (?) dirt" roads. For the times that I am on the dirt, should I be looking at an "off road" caravan, or would most caravans be able to handle the good dirt. (3) Is there any advice you can give me on the various caravan manufacturers. (4) I think I will be looking for around a 20' van. What size 4wd should I be considering. I am assuming that this is one area where size does matter. Thanx for any help & advice you can offer folks. I'm sure "She Who Must Be Obeyed" will be veeerrrry happy if I can get it right first time.
