The yanks love their tear drops for some reason.
Nice set up though

Good looking trailer and for an import from the US, pricing starts at $10,460, which is pretty bloody good.

It has an awkward shape if you want to hang an annex off of it though. But looking at the OZ website, they simply put an annex over the whole trailer. What a novel idea, tropical roof and annex all rolled into one.

I have always liked these. Perfect for extend road trips and over nighters.

I really like it !!

Might hit my head on the way in though, .........but its nice and cozy.

Its got all the mod cons
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

The clamps above the bed are rifle racks.

Makes sense.  A lot of the campers over on expedition portal worry about bears.

The Moby1XT is more like what we would use over here;

By moving away from the real teardrop shape you can accommodate more routine stuff like awnings and rtt's.

My expo trailer is being converted to one very similar to this with the foxwing on the side;

You can get the gist of the changes here;
