 To me ? Thats exactly how I like it !! Get a scratch or bump ? Who cares !! It adds to the patena, character  ! Does the JOB .  Mind you some think its a race !! When getting to their destination they spend near the whole time cleaning up van !! I guess thats Kama for passing and setting gravel & dust over vehicles passed !!

We chose an off-road van to do our long-awaited big lap in 2017. Five years on and about 30,000 km further we appreciate the strong chassis and huge ground clearance that our van has. There are few tracks that we cannot follow and the solar allows for off-grid camping. The downside to this van is the weight (~2.6T) and height (3.1 m). We really wanted a Tardis, but they are hard to find.
