How Is A Semi-All-Terrain Caravan Different From Other RVs?
A semi-off-road or semi-all-terrain caravan is designed to handle a variety of travelling surfaces, so it offers more flexibility than a 'standard' RV. Unlike touring caravans, which are primarily built for freeways and bitumen roads, semi-off-road models feature higher ground clearance, reinforced suspension, all-terrain tyres, and a robust chassis to navigate dirt roads, gravel roads, and mild off-road conditions. While not entirely off-road, they strike a balance between comfort and capability, allowing for adventures that traditional RVs can't manage.
