No, it doesnt need to flip forward.
Roofy- Would you take your Penguin down zeka spur, or into Talbottville via crooked river track during winter? And be confident it wont get damaged? Just curious.
And it's still a little on the small side for us. We still have a teenage daughter that tags along when her social life allows. As for fit.....pffffft. NOT
Cuppa- every time I see a T-van I think to my self, I must have a closer look at them, so they are on the list. Yes weight probably should be an issue, but I figure because it's made with thick steel and canvas, not tin foil and tissue paper it's acceptable.
We wont even look at those tent on trailer things. Been there, done that.
The Kanga is all gas strutted, so it is almost one handed to put up. Its almost like flipping up the bonnet, pull the canvas out, two poles in, peg floor, done.
I'll put Complete campsite on my list. Love the Exodus, but at $88k, it's a little steep, ATM.
Zeka Spur no I wouldn't even attempt it the switch backs are to sharp you know what happens on them
Crooked river yes but not in winter remember how deep and strong it gets and someone got the man flue bad
Most other places maybe but you have to remember if my gear goes bust theres know way I could replace it

It looks like you are very impressed with the set up you already have. I dont think it would cost too much to just have the suspension replaced to your liking. Sometimes it is better to just upgrade what you have and know that it will do what you want as it has already proven its self.
