Firstly, apologies if this has been done before! I am thinking of getting a new diesel Territory AWD as the long term tow vehicle for our yet to be selected replacement van.

Once again seeking advice from people's experience. Is it worth the money and carrying the extra weight of a full annex when travelling full time? Does it really get used or is a the role out awning with a shade wall enough? Many thanks Ron.
