trip planning, and wishful thinking

Hi Maclaren 3030,
Our van weights in at 2.8 tonne fully loaded, the tow rig is a ford RANGER WITH A GVM UPGRADE 350kg AND 2" LIFT. I tend to err on the side of caution when loading the van and if we don't need it , we don't load it.
it makes life so much better.

Hi Allen,
I have to ask, have you you travelled that road from Darwin to Booroloola, I am pretty sure our van will cope with some corrugations and if we drive to the conditions we should be fine, but if we don't go that way is there another route that could take us through that area, to your knowledge????

.
Broodie, The road is sealed to Booroloola but unsealed from there to Doomadgee with the usual corrugations. Then some sealed, some unsealed to Normanton, although that sealing may have been completed in the last year.
But as has been said, there are water crossings that may present a challenge to your caravan's clearance and could even challenge your Ranger's traction on the exit.
Driving a Troopy and not towing, we cope with any & all road surfaces without issue so I don't always note the 'finer' details. And I have never towed a caravan so am not knowledgable about their capabilities/limitations.
However, it is the Savannah Way and I think a lot of vanners go through there.

EDIT: I should have added.... driving a Troopy I do remember the corrugations though!
