ONE TUFF MUDDER !

We reviewed this van courtesy of Canterbury Caravans , Victoria ’ s longstanding Paramount dealership . As usual , Canterbury had fitted out this rig with lots of options ( fitted by the factory and accounted for in the Tare weight ) – Canterbury custom-builds vans to suit individual needs .

And the longer I looked around this van , the more I saw its potential . Sure , if you ’ ve got a dirt bike or ATV , it should do the job as a toy hauler . But as a couple ’ s van , or as a family van , that is neither too heavy nor too large , it has genuine appeal .
