Now, you might be wondering what a Toyota LandCruiser 79 and this custom CRZRVAN have in common. Quite a few things in fact. They both excel in offroad conditions, are built tough and are designed to perform well for long-term use — and most notably, they both have a very similar suspension system that features solid axles using radius arms to keep them running straight while giving excellent articulation. This similarity is no accident, as the designer and owner of CRZRVAN, Rhys Conti, is a great fan of this style of suspension on his offroading 4WDs.
Rhys is based in Shepparton, Victoria, and he got thinking about how he could design a better offroad caravan without going down the standard van suspension route. It's not like the CRZRVAN suspension hasn't been tested. Just look at how many Toyota 79s are being used and abused with this style of suspension throughout the world. What was new, though, was developing it for use on a caravan.
WHERE DID WE TEST
Queensland's Double Island Point and its kilometres of beaches was the playground for our tow test. It certainly wasn't the toughest of locations
