Pretty common with a lot of Caravans here.

With a compact 14ft by 7ft 6in body, the Dirty Harry is equipped for some serious bush-bashing, with a 150mm dual beam, galvanised chassis, Cruisemaster independent coil suspension, DO35 hitch, galvanised sheet underfloor protection, two heavy-duty spare wheel carriers, and 16inch alloy wheels with Cooper Discovery mud tyres.

To make sure it can stand up to some Clint Eastwood-style punishment, the Dirty Harry also features โ€˜hail resistantโ€™ aluminium stucco cladding, plus checkerplate protection for the body as well as the two, 60 litre water tanks

Generally the Interiors on their larger vans about 35ft Overall, is somewhat "Scandinavian Chic". Interestingly No slideouts.Full Home Airconditiong system, not a normal RV one.Pop Up Bedroom TV, other TV's located elsewhere.

It looks like the ground clearance is good in the middle but the susupension on each side seems to hang down quite a bit. I'll bet that it still will perform very well. There are a few specialty trailer in the US that use that type of coil spring suspension and some of them use air bags instead of the coils.

Not a problem with Off Road Caravans they pressure inside the Caravan
To keep water and dust out.

Nissan doesn't sell the Patrol in the US. The Xterra and Pathfinders are built here. No diesels.

Very impressive!!! Love the suspension. Would of liked a peek inside and a better look at that hitch. Obviously not conventional!!!

And you've stated before, these rigs come with LT tires!!! Should speak volumes for the anti LT crowd!!!
