mmm, we were just discussing last night if we should keep ours or not! We did 6 months with our 2 kids in 2008 and now we're back in the grind, it's not getting much use. Anyway, we wrote a website about the trip (and the Trak Shak) on the link below.

We used our Trak Shak for our 12 month around Oz trip in 1997. Ma + Pa and 2 kids.

While the TS is a large unit and requires a fair amount (read lots) of space to park we generally found we could pretty much find a space wherever we looked. Some caravan parks proved a little challenging, simply indicating we had a large unit could we have something to suit, to the owners of caravan parks got us a reasonable site. At the time we were able to give dimensions and most CP owners were happy to oblige. At times our set up was not 100% due to cramped spaces.

I don't recall wet packing ever being a problem - we did have a couple of heavy duty black plastic sheets to put on the tops of our beds to prevent any wet bedding issues. This seemed to work pretty welll.

The plastic floor always packed up outwards and didn't touch any of teh canvas or bedding so this was never an issue for us. Mind you the maximum period of time we were packed up tight was about 6 hours at a time so there was never any issue of lingering moisture.

All in all - any negatives experienced with the TS were far outweighed by the positives; quick set up/pack down, bed always made, plenty of storage, robust unit, dust/water proof, ample additional fuel/water acrryign capacity, roomy beds, go anywhere and so on.

We sold our TS 15 months ago and 'upgraded' to a TVan. We enjoyed the TS some much we would have bought a two person unit if they were being made at the time.

Good luck finding one. You won't regret it.
