Or should I only engage it in slippery conditions...

Hi All. As some of you will remember we were one of the unfortunates to buy a new "lemon" Supreme van. We found the Dealers Service Manager very difficult to deal with from our 1st issue a week after collecting the van - she always argued, tried to fob me off or book the van in for many weeks or even months ah...

In my yet-to-be purchased caravan, I would like to travel on gravel roads and dirt tracks occasionally. I don't need a go-anywhere off-road caravan, and they tend to be heavy and expensive. So 'semi-offroad' seems a nice compromise. But what actually makes a caravan semi-offroad? From my wand...
