With age catching up, and my full on adventurous days almost over- we've opted for a more comfortable way to travel.
well, a bit more comfortable than the Troopy.
This thing is 4WD/ Hi and (very) Lo ratios, rear diff locker. Chassis & running gear used as a basis for military vehicles in Europe.
We had a week in the country behind Nowra & Jervis Bay- and it handled the rough stuff really
well. Almost climbed up Pigeon House Mtn.
It runs out of breath at about 100kph on the blacktop (only travel about 90 anyway). Comfortable cruising- and very capable off-road.
2.3 l turbo motor. Good ground clearance with more than adequate engine/transmission protection. Rated at 4.5 t GVM.
Good sized double bed, 4-burner cooker- 80l Engel- even a
kitchen sink. Heaps of storage internal & external.
Despite it's height, it is very stable when laterally tilted. Most of the stuff up top is light, and it has a very heavy chassis under it,
( Don't tell Colin/TONI- currently fitted with Cooper tyres- no white lettering)
Here's a
