1st I now own a GU4.2 2001 model. I love it goes hard, very comfortable and should last
well, but it does use heaps more fuel than the 3.0 I know that because I have 2 mates with the 3.0 and they get way better fuel figures than I do and one of these guys drives pretty hard at least on the sealed stuff. One of these guys works in the 4wd industry and there are options available to make the 3.0 even better. Neither have had any problems.
2nd I tow a Trak Shak trailer. Have had it since 96. I travel with my wife and three kids. It has been all over Oz, including first trailer to the tip of
Cape York after the big wet of March 99. The only problem I have had was the cable for the override brakes broke following two huge stops in the
Maytown area west of
Cooktown. I drove it from there to
Weipa without brakes and had no problems. I have never not gone somewhere because I had the trailer. I have towed other vehicles out of tuff spots attatching the recovery gear to the trailer, no problems.
I recomend you go to a show and look at the range. Find one that suits you. Ask very carefully about the pricing and add the cost of the options you want. Then go to caravan parks and ask people who own them.what they don't like about the trailer and what they would change about it. Remember that they are going to be unwilling to critisize their own decision in buying that trailer. I know I am biased but I do love my Trak Shak. Built in SA they will ship it anywhere in OZ and they are great people to do business with.
