I have read and appreciate the
feedback about the Karavan. I have seen one in the show room as we are thinking seriously of buying an off road van (not to go hell and back but at least something that is versatile and not fall apart on the corregations).
We have had a Kombi with three kids and also travelled in the US in full Motor
home plus many years of camping.
I am currently torn between two extremes the Karavan and something like an 16-18 foot Bushtracker - I know they are very different and that is the issue. At the end of the day they are pretty much (or close) to the same price (at least for a second hand BT) - but I would need a bigger car for the BT. But these are not really nmy concerns at this point.
Has anyone here travelled in the Karavn for an extended period - say 2-3 months and how have you found it - did the lack of space and small kitchen get to you in the end? I know this is not an issue in the BT.
Has anyone travelled in the top end or outback where the flies etc drive you crazy if cooking outside and so need the full annex each night or cock inside? I know I can
cook easily in the BT with a full gas stove.
I note that some people have suggested a bigger towing vehicle - what has been used so far by contributors? and how have you found it? Do you really need to go to a Patrol / LC? I know I do if I go to the BT.
Thansk.
Thanks

Putting up the full annex sounds a LOT less painful.

Slightly OT.....see if you can ask the EO staff to change your subject heading to "
Kimberley Karavan" as it may get a better response, even though the company is called
Kimberley Kampers.
Good luck.
