Dust in van

TR

I purchased a Camel Bushman around 9 months ago but haven't used it all that much due to work pressures. Hope to get away in the next three weeks.

Appears to me they are well built with good quality canvas, but heavy to set up solo.

Think I'll just use it to cart fuel, water, bit of gear and use the kitchen during over night stops (sleep in the car).

One of the things that gets my goat with all these CT's is the absence of internal tie down points to stop stuff being thrown around every where over corrugations and rough tracks.

That's the end of my tirade LOL

In my experience there is nothing invented that will stop the ingrest of Bull Dust. Best thing you can do is tape a bit of cardboard over the outside vents and remove them at the camp site.

Hi bjb

We travelled around 1200km on dirt roads, the van went well. Apart from the Gibb river road we also took the van into the Bungles and Wolf Creek with no problems.

I too put extra sealing around the slide out kitchen and around the travel door, I also blocked the fridge vents, none of this made any differents. The seal around the roof worked well since there would have been dust on the canvas and there was none, I did notice the dust wasn’t going that high. Most of the dust was on the floor and in the cupboards near the wheel arch under the kitchen. There shouldn't be any problem with any dust on the GRR we bought it all back to Perth. You will need some decent mud flaps, the plastic feet on the front support legs were demolished and the front boot has lots of chips in it not to mention the back of the 4wd. If you have a front and back bed awning and you don't think you will use them, take them off. Mine were never used and covered in dust they were very hard to clean. Have a good holiday.
