I was reading Camper Trailer Australia mazagine on my tablet using Zinio when i came across an advert for Myswag. So i tried to register only to eventually discover i had already done so way back in 2010!
Anyhow a belated hi from me.
Being a farmer makes me by necessity a jack of all trades and master of nothing. The relevance of this here relates to the modifications and upgrades i have undertaken DIY on my Prado 120 VX 2007 D4D that i use to pull a Avan Aliner. In particular i have replaced the Alko rubber torsion axle with a Timbren axle-less suspension on 16 inch tyres to achieve significant extra ground clearance. In the process i significantly beefed up the chassis and extended the drawbar, the latter to allow the Prado barn door to open while hitched. A vehicle components do35 hitch, stone guard, second agm battery charged by a roof mounted 150 watt solar panel or from the Prado auxiliary battery both via a ctek 250b dc-dc charger, numerous merit and andersen plug sockets inside and out, 600 watt inverter etc etc. The aim of it all is to be able to free camp anywhere without going over board on the 4wd off road bit. We have now done a lot of miles on bitumen but are yet to see how the Avan will handle dirt like the Birdsville track.
