HITTING THE DIRT

THE 19FT 6IN JB CARAVANS DIRT ROADER HAS A GREAT DEAL TO OFFER CARAVANNERS WHO DON ’ T NEED A FULL OFFROAD RIG BUT STILL WANT TO EXPLORE A LITTLE OFF THE BEATEN PATH .

In late January , I found myself in Dargo , Vic , a country town in the High Country as part of a trip involving three JB caravans . One of them was the 19ft 6in JB Dirt Roader .
As its name suggests , the Dirt Roader isn ’ t an ‘ offroader ’. It ’ s built for national park corrugations and similar terrain . With the van hitched to an Isuzu D-Max , I took the helm and spent a couple of days towing this rig along plenty of gravel , up and down inclines , and across deep crevices in the tracks .
