pineapple flat to craigs

Sam,

We travelled that route a few years ago with a trailer. Ours is a full off road camper. It weighs about 1000kg fully loaded and has excellent ground clearance. It is towed by a 4.2 TD GU and I have been towing it off road for about 13 years.

I am assuming you mean a Jayco style camper, pop the roof up and pull the ends out. If that is the case I think you would struggle to get it through without damage. A couple of the creek crossings had reasonably steep entry and exit points and I think you would drag the tail quite badly.

Others may have more up to date information on road conditions but from what I saw I would not take anything other than a dedicated off road trailer.

Hi sam was at craigs hut and pineapple flat in may this year, circular rd okay but to craigs hut okay but rd to pineapple flat no go without dedicated off rd trailer to many sharp humps, in may it was wet and we had 2 prados and we had fun, did not need snorkel at river crossing cheers merv.

You can just get a regular poptop into Pineapple Flat via Telephone Box Junction, the Circuit Rd & King Basin Road if you take it steady. Only issues are the King Basin road gets very slippery after rain with a couple of mud patchs & the crossing of the King River to get to Pineapple Flat will be up a little at the moment. May need to tape up the doors/vents on the van for what is normally a straight forward (smooth) crossing. Of course that can all change if it pours.
A snorkel is not usually required for the crossings of the upper King or Howqua Rivers although a blind is always good insurance to carry.
I wouldn't tow a standard camper in or out by any other route.
Cheers Craig............
