RV REVIEW
HOW EASY IS IT TO SET UP ?

There are a number of wellregarded names in the hybrid camper manufacturing industry . One of these is Vista RV .
Vista has been manufacturing for over 15 years , whereas its parent company , Prompt Sheetmetal , has been making components for trailers and the RV industry since the 1980s , and is still supplying parts and components for the camper trailer industry .
The Crossover is available in a few formats – Classic , XLI and XLE – with each maintaining a compact footprint on the road . It ’ s all good and well to haul a large offroad caravan , but what if you can ’ t access the best sites because the van is too big ? That ’ s one reason
why the Crossover makes so much sense . We hitched up the XLI model to help bring you up to speed on this seriously tough hybrid camper .
EXTERNAL HIGHLIGHTS
Vista RV makes almost all of the components for the Crossover inhouse . This includes the hotdipped-galvanised chassis , the suspension , and even the panels that comprise the body . These panels are a composite construction made up of an external 2mm skin of fibreglass , with a core of lightweight ply as well as hardwood ply , and an internal veneer . It ’ s hard to fault the workmanship behind these panels too .
