Planning a trip in August and this route is part of it. Question is what condition are these roads usually in given they take road train traffic and providing no big rain prior to mid July.
The van I'm towing is 2014 Coromal Silver Series 6 inch chassis and independent leaf spring
suspension (no shocky's). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A couple of years ago we towed our Gazal Offroad van from
Bourke to
Tibooburra &
I have to tell you the Bourke/
Wanaaring section was the roughest we encountered.
Including the Plenty,
Walkers Crossing & GCR. But I'm sure you can do it..albeit
slowly in parts..:))). Our van has no shocks, & I don't consider that critical on a leaf
sprung axle. What you do need is plenty of underbody protection for wiring, piping etc. Cable ties & tape wont cut it. Care with internal packing is advised as
well. I don't
reduce tyre pressure but you make your own judgment on that. We had no issues but
had to tie wire brake wiring behind axle as no amount of tape or cable ties lasted for
more than 50Km. cheers...oldbaz.
