should I buy a regular 4x4 or a truck!
Hi all,
really interested in getting kitted out for Morocco, I can see it from my house in Spain! I have experience in camper vans etc, but require some assistance in the following;
I am married with three children all very small and wondered what your thoughts were on vehicle suitability. I am on a tight budget so bear that in mind. I´m not looking to spend months at a time traversing Africa however, sustained stays in one place will be required. My question is as follows, should I not bother in purchasing a LR / LC set up with all the upgrades necessary to make it expedition worthy and just go and purchase a second hand military truck like the RENAULT TRM4000 which are about the same price as an entry level / tatty 4x4 in need of preperation. I realise that these may consume more diesel etc, however, they´re are already geared for expedition usage and I can procure a box to fit on the back relatively cheaply and do a diy interior. Some ideas please, does anyone have any experience with trucks here. Any families present too!
cheers up front.
Richard
