Like the Landcruiser with the blown ECU that was towed into Derby (or could have been Wyndham, it was a few years ago now when I was there) and had to then be towed to Darwin for full diagnostics and repair. Huge bill for the owners, as Toyota’s view was it was caused by the wiring of their additional fuel tank and wouldn’t pay.

Ruined their big trip, not to mention put an end to their travels through the Kimberley.

No wooden spoked wheels, no crank handle, no hand advance retard or throttle, no wooden frame, no ………

Crikey, why on earth would anyone buy one?

Hmmmmm!

Meantime, I would definitely consider buying one and some of the good options for offroad, with an OBD111 reader for diagnostic reasons if required (I am not a mechanic, just a bit of an enthusiast with no qualifications) and then go outback towing my off road camper. And leave you behind.

BTW, I currently travel in my VW Touareg 4XMotion and VCDS software. Absolutely brilliant vehicle. No problems.

Had a offroad campermatic since 1992. Greag little basic setup. Had no problems. Aďded a few things. Been on lots of trips. Easy and fast to set up. Been to western australia twice, simpson desert, kimberleys and just got back from Cape York. Built to last. Very happy owner.

Is there a need to buy new? We bought a 2002 rear fold Campomatic off road camper trailer for a specific 2 month trip through the Kimberly ‘tracks’ and we couldn’t have been happier with what we had. Made in Australia. Extremely robust, the best kitchen layout I have seen and also the easiest to set up. Not as bulky or heavy as a forward fold and not a minute of worry. It’s worth thinking outside the square. Just saying.

With my wife and special needs daughter we lived the comforts), and yes I expect we we’re over weight to some degree. But I certainly paced myself and did not hit the creek crossings at 80kph (I don’t think I every went over 60 even in the good sections). Had no major issues other than the occasional loose screw inside and no flat/scredded tires. However I did see plenty of other travellers with issues in all sorts of rig combinations. I would do the same tomorrow but take more time as I’m now retired.

I don’t need to know how deep a water crossing is, I don’t need a computer drying my brakes after a crossing I am more than capable of putting a foot on the brake pedal
