An interesting read about Track Trailers

[Isuzumu]

Had our MK111 Tvan from new for just over 5 years now. Have been on endless hard tracks - Simpson Desert, CapeYork Frenchmans track and Old Telegraph Track, Palmer river Gold Fields up the real Maytown track past folders hotel - Cape Melville, Down the Hay River track, up the CREB track etc etc. took every hard option on every track, pushed the crap out of the Tvan everywhere, over the worst corrugations. And after all that I've had to repair ............ zip - zero - zilch
Stop set up in a couple of minutes, drink BEER
That's why you buy a Tvan - simply the best suspension on any camper, with the build quality of the camper to match.
Seen plenty of Jaycos in caravan parks as we pass by Lol

Sounds really great plenty off trailers done that like our old Jimboomba, but how many time you had to put a new motor in the f Nissan.
You fellows get all head up because you have paid top dollar for a trailer that I have seen a couple of basic MDC do the same thing and no bull Shits either.

Hey mate, I'm on tapatalk on a phone; so in the last pic above - is that creek juice pouring out of the back of your Tvan?   

How did it go re: water ingress?

Cheers

My MU has over 300K on it and is 24 year old, and no one spot of rust and would probably show your Pootrol when to go.

Pissing contest huh? Wanna compare track, destination and duration lists 

Look, at the end of the day we all do what we are cumfortable with and we do it with the machinery we can afford or what we deem to be best. But, since that there is no "best" all the bs and bombast in the world is meaningless. As are criptic comments about what's in our sheds coz frankly no one really cares hahahahah

well said.

I've done a big lap, which included the gulf, the Gibb, Oodnadatta, Birdsville and Strzelecki tracks and the Cape... All totally unsupported. Plus the Simpson twice and the Anne Beadell once. (supported)

on a push bike.

do I get extra credit for that? I pedaled a bike, because well... I simply couldn't afford a car at the time and I wanted to see outback Australia.

Now I have a little more $$$ so I have a cruiser and a home made/modified trailer. But it's not about who does what, who spends what and who drives what...

It's 100% about getting out there and doing what you can, with what you have, while you can.

There will come a day when you can't anymore.

Are we all finished now?

After posting a link to an interesting article about an Aussie company which is both innovative and produces a quality product, I thought we may have a mature discussion about the company's products and its future direction, which sounds very interesting.

However, like most things on here, the second reply took the thread off topic and it turned into a pissing competition.

Thanks to those who made a postive contribution.  I learnt some things.  I also had a laugh.

the new issue of Camper Australia magazine has a review of the special edition Firetrail model. Looks like they included the bits you'd like and left out the bits you could get by without.

Dont be too selfrighteous KB, you're no saint hahahaha
