To be honest, since last time stanage was cleared (a couple of months ago), going up on the drop side with a caravan would be pretty much a straight drive.

I've seen some of those clips before, & they're great :clap:

Some of the South African vans are similarly strong too, however, the vans are specced to more of an 'outdoors lifestyle'; campfires for cooking, etc.. (or the South African ones I've seen brochures for are)

Think I read about this in Getaway magazine a few years ago, they got all sorts of greif from the van company as the wrecked it and slagged it off a bit.

some of the places they try and get caravans and you can see it is going to destroy the front corner from the angle they are towing it up a rock at but they carry on anyway! I can se there is reinforcing bars around it, but even so!
