for what it is worth we travelled up the Tanami july this year (then the Gibb and came back thru central qld, all up ~15000km, ~4500 on dirt) with two other trailers, a Track on its million dollar
suspension, and a
Southern Cross on straight leafs, ours on independent airbags, without ant troubles. Agree with all comments, it is a little bumpy, but hardly what i would call badly corrugated. We were expecting the worse just across the border in WA and slowed down to about 80km, most of the time was 90-100+ depending on our fuel load. We even got mobile phone (Telstra) coverage near the gold
mine, scared the hebbies out of me when message bank went off!!!. Having said all this we met a guy in
Alice Springs who was heading to
Broome the long way, even though he had an off raod trailer, did not like the dust and corrugations, The bottom line is preference I guess, but dont let the road scare you, it is not the horror track it used to be (or wasn't when we travelled) Happy Travels
