Hey. Has anyone done the French line or QAA track from
Birdsville through to
Dalhousie Springs? Is it possible with a caravan or camper?

Thousands of us drive it every year......
Towing anything is strongly discouraged because of the damage it causes to the track. You would not get far with anything bigger or heavier than a light camper trailer and unless you are experienced with towing in soft sand, you are unlikely to get far towing anything.
It often causes the track to be blocked while bogged vehicles are recovered.
Many of us would like it banned.
It is certainly not a practice that should be attempted by anyone who has to ask.
EDIT.
This is a dip in the top of a dune on the French line.
