hey folks, this thread about my GT Camper trailers is from last October, so pre-dates my joining MySwag!
Luxabout and Campfire - thanks for your interest and compliments however GT campers, too, makes its own chassis, it is a bomb-proof 50x100mm and galvanized. many if not most, trailers are painted.
The GT Camper won’t suit everyone, but with all their pegs and poles and ropes and lots of canvas, most "camper" trailers aren't suitable for travelling, especially away from smooth grassy campgrounds. The GT Camper addresses a need for experienced travellers who value no-nonsense bushability and ease of set-up in arduous terrain.
GT Campers uses Australian-made long-travel poly-bushed leaf springs that are developed for outback conditions; corrugations etc. Plus the painted tub not only looks attractive compared to the industry-standard exposed welds and chequerplate panels, but is far lighter and more durable than a fabricated box, especially when installed on the bush-tough chassis.
The chassis is designed with the spare tyre and water tank underneath where they are directly supported by the chassis and provide a low centre of gravity and good balance. This low centre of gravity is simple motorsport tech and is far better for off-road balance and performance than draw-bar or tailgate mounted spares.
There is also a considerable amount of development effort into stone shields and dust sealing.
The GT Bikini awning is unmatched for useability - it goes up in 30 seconds to give you instant shade for lunch breaks.
No pegs or ropes required for set-up - you'll love that on rocky ground.
The whole rig sets up and packs up in less than five minutes...
..and on it goes!
Hopefully, this will explain the depth of engineering, premium design and the innovation put into GT Campers… and why they’re not $8999 with a "FREE!!!" jerry can and "4X4 QUARTER-OFF-ROAD" stickers.
Plus of course the GT Camper is also available as the Toyota Hilux Expedition, a unique all-conditions Tourer.
