RE: My off-road camper trailer...

in #life8 years ago

That trailer is a beauty, I would love to get one later on in life... It's got everything you need in the bush and more.
Thanks for sharing :D

Hi @tomekkk, thanks for reading and your comments. It's a great bit of kit. We've had it for almost 3 years and have used it about 20 or so times for periods of between 5 days and 3 weeks. It includes everything we need. I'm no grey-nomad roaming around the Aussie countryside just yet so not ready for a carvan. Not sure I ever will be. :)

Personally I rather have that trailer then a caravan. But I guess the older you get, the harder to set this up every few days.

That's true I guess, some people don't like packing away wet canvas or the noise of canvas in the wind etc. so prefer a caravan. For me a caravan raises other issues like huge cost, generally around +$80,000AUD for a decent off-road van, and then additional fuel usage, towing complications and access issues. Vehicles these days are not designed by the manufacturer to cope with the loads of a modern-day caravan which can weigh up to 3500kg. Consumers want more and more features so caravan manufacturer's load them up adding a lot of weight. Caravan-users are having to go for increasingly larger vehicles to handle the weight. Toyota Landcruisers etc. I can see the attraction but I agree with you, the trailer is better fit for me.

Spot on, couldn't say it better myself. :)
Keep on camping...err I mean Steeming.
