"Open up your touring options with an RV that can double as on-road tourer and off-road adventurer
"The team at Vista RV Crossover has managed to create a durable and compact shell that's ready to tackle any RV adventure, while providing all of the comfort you could need on any trip."
A true go-anywhere RV, the Crossover will bring the comfort of home on your next off-road adventure.
"Whilst an off-road caravan will take you to a lot of great places, the Vista RV Crossover is designed to go much further and follow you to those places that a traditional RV could only dream of going.
"For those who truly want to go anywhere (and we mean anywhere) in this beautiful country, the Vista RV Crossover will get you there and back in comfort."
Part caravan, part offroad trailer, the Crossover is the best of both worlds.

"Overall, the Crossover is a very well designed and practical camper with outstanding build quality. As the name suggests, it really does lie somewhere between a caravan and an offroad trailwer incorporating the best traits of each in terms of the comfort and ease-of-use without compromising it offroad ability."
"Crossing Over - Combining caravan comfort with camper trailer go-anywhere capability.
"If you've ever contemplated cashing out of the basic camper trailer scene in search of greater creature comforts, the Crossover could just be your ticket to adventure. Combining the compact footprint of an off road camper trailer with the comforts of a caravan, the Crossover makes a compelling argument as a comfortable tourer without sacrificing off road potential."
"THE Crossover derives its name from the fact that it not a caravan, not a camping trailer, and definitely not a tent. It takes the best features of caravans (solid cabin living and sleeping space) and camping trailers (nimbleness, compact size, lower weight) and blends them together in an innovative way. It is aimed at those who want to be able to take their accommodation anywhere that their vehicle can go, who are seeking quality workmanship, and a product that has evolved from more than two decades of field testing, including a rolling chassis and suspension that met the demands of the Australian Army. This makes the Crossover a great performer on the freeway, as well as on the toughest tracks."

"I shouldn't like the Crossover, but I do.
"It's just such a smart way of doing things.
"This is the camper I shouldn't like, because with two young kids, there's nowhere to let them bed down for the built-for-two Crossover. Or rather, there's nowhere for me: I'd be the one in a swag out in the rain.
"Despite its sleeping quarters that are really confined to accommodating two adults, I can't help but give this camper the big tick."
"The Crossover is a new and innovative caravan/campervan that ticks a lot of boxes.
One of the new kids on the block in caravan land is Vista RV's Crossover. It's part caravan, part camper, genuinely off road capable and very interesting indeed.
"The Crossover is a very innovative, clever and comfortable little rig. The build quality looks to me to be very good indeed, and its dimensions allow it to follow your 4WD into out of the way places where all the fun is.
"The Crossover is a very good caravan/camper indeed."
"If ever you become despondent about the lack of Aussie ingenuity in design, or the seeming lack of high-quality local manufacturing that is actually Aussie-owned, then come this way. Here we have a top-shelf camper trailer that is not only cleverly designed but also has beautiful fit and finish.
"This is not to say that the Crossover is perfect – it certainly has its flaws, like anything – but it is hard not to be impressed with this rig overall.
"The Crossover was previewed in issue 14 of CTA – even before it was given the Crossover model name – so we wanted to follow up with an inspection of the final, finished product."
