2006 model Argyle SE. Seen most of WA's outback roads and a lot of the lesser tracks, Tanami, GRR, Gunbarrel, GCR etc. No dramas with mechanical or structural components so far. Several changes made - the original Trojan hand pump was crap, so changed to a Finspar hand pump, as was the sink tap - changed to a Shurflow one with the independent power switch. Added a Projector solar charger into the 12V system, extra Anderson plugs for solar charging, aux & fridge power, replaced the incandescent lamps for the later style LED ones, added LED lamps to the front gull wing storage boxes. Addd a bayonet type fitting to the stove instead of the original screw on type. Busted one zipper through jamming it while folding up-(own fault).
Drawbar weight = 185 kg with 2x full water tanks (60 lt ea), 2x 4Kg gas bottles, 2x 20lt jerry cans. Front box has 2x 100 amp batteries, bulky stuff - chairs, tarp, porta dunny, shower tent. Gullwing boxes - only tucker and cooking gear. Under bed storage is solar panels, table, annex and some other loose items. No spare under trailer - all wheels the same and have dual rear tyre carrier. Fridges (60 lt & 32Lt Engels) in vehicle.
Towed with a Troopy HDJ78RV HD-FTE - hardly know its behind.
Had a look at a new one at the last camping show - looks pretty gay and soft to me and wouldn't consider a trade. Each to their own though.
Bought it because it was a local WA company at the time, local design and components and aftermarket service, although I've never needed it. Gaffa independent suspension - local design and service parts easily available from Martins trailer Parts if needed.
More than happy with it over the time
