AROUND THE OUTSIDE
Brisbane Holiday Village , a park known for a level of hospitality and generous welcome that is matched only by its first-class facilities , provided a great base to check out the Crusader Musketeer Warrior .
Weighing in with a Tare of just over 2000kg , this is not a heavy rig . It was not surprising that our 3L Isuzu MU-X tow vehicle , with its 3500kg towing capacity , handled this van easily .
The review van was fitted with a standard ball hitch and beam-axle leaf-spring suspension . While I crouched down to get a look at the suspension , sheets of water rolling through the campsite made photographing them not an option .
To aid hitching up , the Musketeer has been fitted with a reversing camera . Construction-wise , the van benefits from a 6in chassis and drawbar with 400mm-high checkerplate all round , a composite one-piece roof and floor , and smooth , composite Alupanel sides . The underside of the van is even protected by fibreglass .
