ORIGINAL SIROCCO II INSIDE !
The military-style suspension is an asymmetric setup offering 330mm of travel at the wheel . Again , it ’ s Vista RV ’ s own design and it ’ s been in use for many years . I ’ d trust it .
To the uninitiated , at first glance the Crossover might seem fiddly to set-up , but nothing could be further from the truth . Once it ’ s unhitched , it ’ s no more difficult than a regular pop-top caravan . In fact , it ’ s easier : there are only two clips to undo instead of four , and when it comes to lifting the roof , with only a short lift the gas struts take over .
The only other thing to set-up is the ensuite tent . A rear pod containing a 215W solar panel unclips and lifts horizontally , forming the roof of the bathroom . Then , it ’ s just a matter of undoing a few clips and the tent section will drop into place . Simply peg it all out , and your bathroom is ready . Here , you ’ ll find a storage space to suit a portable toilet , and a drop-down ‘ vanity ’ with coldwater-only hand-pump . Vista RV can fit a permanent shower to this area as an optional extra ; however , the company ’ s customers tend to prefer a portable shower , which Vista RV can also supply .
