Choosing an off road caravan

G'day Julie - I've had a Trakmaster Nullabor for 2 years - I've sent you a member message.

Hi Julie we have had a 18.6 trakmaster Tanami built for us,deliverd Nov 2010 .,very happy with the build and service. We have had it for a few short trips in between operations, as soon as i get over the latest op we are out of here to catch up friends that have made the move. No shortage of work for those that give it ago,and thats from people that i have run into around the country, if thats what you need to do at times

There has recently been a thread on Caravaners Forum on this topic. You might like to check that too. Lynne

We had our Trakmaster Kimberley made in 1997, in order to travel around the country for a few years. Lived in it fulltime for 3 years, to start, then have done a series of trips most years since, ranging from 1 to 9 months. We estimate we have lived in it for about 8 years, in total, by now. Have towed it about 110,000km, about one-third off bitumen. The company has been very good to deal with, both when van was being built, and in servicing it since then.
We have certainly been happy with the van. There was only one item that needed replacement under warranty - the stove top lid - and that was not the fault of Trakmaster.
Bear in mind that there is a big difference between going off the bitumen onto formed gravel roads, and going offroad onto rough and narrow tracks. The bigger your van, the fewer the places it can go.
