road van to innaminka

The track from Lyndhurst to Innaminka is A1. Take it easy and I'd say you'd be right.

If it's your parents van not yours





WHO CARES ???? !!!! :-)



Sorry

Hi Shane,

I recently completed the trip towing my off-road caravan the other way round - via Arkaroola, Moolawatana up to Innamincka the back via Cameron Corner/ Tibooburra to White Cliffs. The worst part was the corrugations on the section just before White Cliffs - the remainder is easy going if you take it slow. My caravan is a compact off-roader - Conqueror Commander - but if you take it easy and tie everything down inside the caravan I don't believe there would be problems.

The road from Tibooburra to Strzelecki is well worth suffering the few bumps to get there. Just keep the speed down, let the tyres down a tad and take an extra spare for the caravan as well if possible, but not essential.

Regards,

Shane,

The road to Innamincka via Lyndhurst (Strzelecki Track) is generally a first class track, with a crushed rubble base at the northern end and also in the process of having a major upgrade being done along its route.

Having said that I would still not take an on road van along the track.
The main problem with an on road van is that the internal cupboards and fittings are not designed to take constant shaking and vibration which is common on off-road tracks. They can be shaken to pieces and I have heard of it happening although I don't own a van myself.

Secondly, your folks would want to have a very good stone guard mounted on the van's draw bar, an "impact" bra fitted to the front surface of the van and a rear window protector on the back of the towing vehicle.

Off road vans are specifically designed to take the type of treatment that will occur when travelling on unsealed surfaces and the suspension is also important to limit the possibility of premature failure and give higher ground clearance.

Bill.

thanks for replies.
