4x4 Camper Van
I get out of the Army in a year and my wife and I plan to do nothing
more than travel around the country visiting friends and blowing some savings. I've been kinda caged up in a uniform for 8 years, and it's time to decompress and get a little perspective. I envision the camper we travel in as representing the key that unlocks that cage. So this is important! See? That being said, I'm looking for something that can handle snow really well as we will ultimately end up landing in Alaska. I started this search because I was so enamored with the old VW Westphalia Syncro (an AWD VW camper van). But it occured to me that a 1992 (the last year they made them) model anything is too old. So my quest has led me to find the 4x4 Sportsmobile (www.sportsmobile.com) conversion vans and the GTRV folks in British Columbia (www.gtrv.com). They both seem to build some fantastic products, although they are a little pricey compared to the old Westies. Any opinions on these? My real concern that I can't kick is gas milage. I'm trying desperately to have my cake and eat it too. I want an AWD or 4x4 full camper (meaning at a minimum stove, water, fridge, sleeps 4) that will do at least 20 mpg. If all the stars aligned, someone out there knows how to make this happen. And yes, I realize this may spark the diesel debate - but I'd go diesel if it was used for fuel efficiency instead of tourque (european style). What would you look at buying if you were me? |
