The Navara ride is rubbish with the rear suspension stiffened due to the air bags but it ok with the van on the back.

I haven't had any problems yet, it's only 1 foot longer than my twin axle and is 1m wider with slide out.
It's in storage when I'm not using it.

Looks like a good idea, the disco would be ideal to pull it. I do miss the old disco and the comfy ride. Sad

Nice van tho Thumbs Up

I've got a 190 auto chipped up so its pretty quick. It also has a reversing camera so that helps with parking. They are a good work horse but no good for a family car.
