Gemhunter off-road Caravans. Do you have any experiences or info about these ?

G'day Willie,

Not the BT - that's a shame! I know that as a Gnomad you might want things a bit smaller.

I did see some writing on this van in the usual mags but that was a while ago.

Sorry I can't help.

Kind regards

I've never heard of the them Willie. I'm sure when you were looking before the small Supreme off roader was mentioned. I have met a few people with the tiny one (i don't know if they even make it now), i think about 12' long, rear door, and width same as Cruiser for narrow tracks. Sideways bed - no good for tall people like my Rooster and small kitchen/living area. No bathroom. They people I've spoken too have been very pleased with their purchase, and one couple we met at Roxby Downs were living in theirs while looking for work in the mining areas as well as doing a bit of fossicking. They were on their second tow vehicle with the same van.

Just checking, haven't actually participated in this forum before, and post I thougn I made didn't show.

Sorry I have tried twice to post but both times it has not posted. Am not going to write it out again.

They are great. We have done 40000 ks 25000 on dirt and are very happy.
Give John and Diann a call. They are good honest people who will look after you

Sorry, I don't spend much time on computer. Just at weekends to do my work.
We bought our Gemhunter at the Brisbane show in 2007. After years of looking, and not finding antything that suited our needs, from van to camper,we were first attracted by the layout. Ours has a fully external kitchen, which allows a full size ensuite with seperate shower, toilet and vanity, with also a two seater lounge with pull out table and a queen sized bed. Pretty interesting in 14'6".
The quality of components and build stood up to inspection. As we all know there are vans and there are vans.
After dragging the thing along all sorts of outback roads and tracks, dusty, corrugated and even some very wet on the way to Windorah from Blackall for last years Birdsville race week, we can say confidently that the thing is strong and user friendly.
It doesn't leak dust, the airbags really do give it a soft ride on very rough stuff, and they make levelling up an asolute breeze, so that you sleep level at night.
The construction from laminated panel gives both strength, I walk about on the roof to clean the solar panels, and insulation. It is comfortble enough to sleep in during the heat of day, in full sun, and at night has been warm enough to sleep in jocks, and one doona in -6, and go to the dunny without getting frozen.
The owners of the company are not only friendly and genuinely interested in getting a quality productto their customers, but they are honest. And no middlemen or salesmen.
