Looking to head around Australia with the wife and 2 kids (2 and 4). Will be taking a dual-cab 4WD with full camping setup in a lift-off canopy on the tray, but also looking to tow something bigger and more comfortable, but still able to negotiate offroad conditions. Basic plan is caravan camper for a base-station, and use the 4WD camper for rugged expeditions.
I've looked at the Jayco Outback, Coromal campers and Goldstream campers. They all looked ideal in regards to layout - good floorplan, and nice and low when towing (or the ability to put a tinny on top).
I have concerns about their offroad ability. The warranties for these don't give much confidence, given some brands aren't covered on roads only traversable by 4WD vehicles.
Maximum budget is under $30,000. I'd rather stay away from soft-floor trailers, or anything that isn't able to be set up and packed up quickly when only stopping overnight.
So anyone know of options I should check out, that basically have similar floorplans to the above-mentioned, and can handle true offroad conditions?
Thanks in advance,
Ranga
