I love fishing, and love camping so the natural choice would be to buy caravan as well so the family can go with.
Summer tent is OK, but winter ... eish. And camping place is more readily available than chalets especially during Easter weekends.
SO i been looking :
colt 2.8. 280nm, currently going for about R60 - R80K.
3.0 d4d - 343nm - seen 2006 one for R140K last month but still thought too much if was scam. Normally goes for about R180K+
2.5 d4d - 260nm - about R160K+
I was convince 2.8 is the way to go, but then my buddie tells me over the weekend how his 2.8 colt struggled thru the thick sand while 3.0 d4d guys breezed thru it. so now my head spinning again.
I would like d4d. More than enough power for all occasions. But the price tag. So other option is 2.5. At 260nm, how well does it perform towing. I have family of 5, so i need a 5 / 6 sleeper caravan. And this is ussualy big and heavy.
Then there is the sand. Normal flat sand I think it should be fine, but it's the tricky bush sand tracks, where you come around a hill , and you looking at 45 deg angle, rutted sand track, with no momentum.

will the 2.5 make the grade for what my needs are?
