Where to next

Steven,
I have an O'Brien trailer, very happy with it, has some very "natty" features, have a look at the website. Not to expensive either.Keep the shiny side up

I bought a tvan about 2 months ago, and find it absolutely fantastic.

First trip was a 3300km journey from warwick Qld ...moree...lightning ridge...bourke...wanaaring....tibooburra..camerons cnr....innaminka..coongee lakes..and back home on the roughest stretch of road I've been on for a long time ie..(.Innaminka to dig tree turnoff.)...Thargomindah to Goondiwindi to warwick.

Result....no dust inside tvan...perfect comfort...great to tow. Only pain was purchase price $28000 odd on road with some options. Have no regrets...manufacturer Track Trailers are fantastically helpful. I'm that desperate to go again....I con my wife to sleep in the tvan in the backyard ,until I can get some more time off work.

Regards Michael

Check out Adventure and Heaslip, both in Adelaide. Different design approaches but both solidly built.Joey&Verna

Steven, whereabouts are you located ???

As for Cavaliers . . . I wouldn't be warned off them as such . . . the unit itself is quite good and solid . . . but for the price . . . you can do far better I believe.

What sort of budget do you have ???

hi i looked at cavaliers but felt they were a bit expensive i bought a simon heard much better built for a lot less towed it around aus with no problems.

I have a Cavalier and cannot fault it.

Our last trip took in 55000km and 2 years through the Top end and Kimberly etc with the Gibb river road and Mitchell Plateau thrown in along with countless other out of the way places.

Some advantages are,

12 or 13 oz canvas which is extremly durable( and feels as thick as cardboard) and weather proof. We have been through the wet season in Darwin and Cooktown and the thing didn't leak.

The trailer is very strong with the ridgidised steel (dimpled) and the drawbar which runs through to the rear of the trailer. The suspension is simple and parts are available everywhere if required.

The windows dont go to ground level which means they dont need to be zipped up when it rains ( dirt gets splashed up the sides approx 18 inches) plus they have clear outer screens as well as the canvas inner.
The cover zips to the camper base which stops 99 % of the dust getting in and the cover is made with enoug room to store things like 2 x fold up chairs 2 x fold up tables, a banana lounge, the ladder and all of the tent poles and an inflated air mattress between the foam mattress and the bed base. Then on top of the camper(when folded up but before the cover is put on) 2 x 20 x 20ft tarps the awning and another heavy duty 9ft x 8ft tarp. The cover fits nice and neat with all of this stuff.
In "travel mode" our trailer weighs 1020kg

I could go on but all I can say Is that although our Cavalier doesnt have al the bells and whistles it is reliable and has never let me down.
