Help finding small 4wd camper....
Wow....been awhile since I've visited with the fine folks on this forum. We had a PUP and then a TT before a divorce and relocation to CO changed all that 3 years ago.
I've been tent-camping since moving to Colorado because I like the "off the beaten path" places that I can get to in my 4-Runner. That said, my old bones are tired of sleeping on the ground and airing out wet tents once I get home.
Like so many other folks, my GF and I found ourselves discussing what would be the perfect "rig" for us, on the way home from last weekend's outing.
Our criteria:
4-WD or AWD
No towing.....I'm over towing anything.
Smallish
Ability to keep everything in the rig...ready to go.
Good reliability....I'm handy but not a mechanic.
Basic systems: don't need fancy stuff.
Budget: $20k...used is fine.
So my question for you guys: What are the options available to me? I've seen some older Tiger Provans that look interesting. VW Westfalias are cool but the Synchros (4WD) are nutty expensive and rare.
Hopefully there are a handful of rigs out there I've not yet discovered and would be very grateful if you you folks got me pointed in the right direction.
Thanks much,
Nate
