RV REVIEW
OFFGRID CARAVANNING !

Offroad caravans come in all shapes and sizes , from 24-footers complete with every luxury , to tiny single-axle rigs that amount to little more than a storage trailer with a rooftop tent .
Those big rigs have their place but I ’ ve always preferred offroaders to be sub-18ft , riding on one axle and weighing less than 2000kg .
The smaller and lighter the van , the more practical it is to tackle tight tracks with less likelihood of damage . This is where a van such as the new CRV Hurricane by Crusader Caravans comes in . We ’ ve looked at the other vans in this range in recent issues . These include the on-road Esperance and its offroad stablemate , the Gladiator .
The Hurricane shares many features and design points with these vans ; however , its numerous differences put it in a class of its own .
