RV REVIEW
Although it ’ s not an offroad / roughroad caravan , I ’ d have liked for the A-frame tap to be protected by a stoneguard – it looks quite vulnerable in its current location .
The twin 95L freshwater tanks , meanwhile , provide water storage for up to a few days away from mains .
I found that the Crusader Musketeer ’ s single-axle configuration gave the van very responsive manoeuvring characteristics , especially when working the van into tight areas and around difficult obstacles .
The Isuzu tow-training day allowed us to test the 10in electric brakes in a simulated emergency braking situation . We took the Isuzu-Crusader combo onto a wet skid pan and hit the brakes looking for an emergency stop at around 70km / h . The combo stopped rapidly , straight , and true , first time – every time .
By way of storage , the external storage options are limited to a tunnel boot .
