In a word....No, certainly not as standard. The corrugations and general conditions would cause some grief to be sure. If you were to spend some time strengthening the body work, dust sealing and putting some decent suspension under the the thing and then driving to the conditions (slowly and cautiously), you MAY make it across.

The conditions are appalling and the corrugations alone will account for many a vehicle and trailer with a less than prepared suspension set-up. I've covered some of what you can expect to encounter in various blogs. The link below gives a list.

I'd also recommend a check of EO member Stephen L 's blogs as he has spent a more time out that way than most and gives some very accurate assessments of the conditions.


Cheers Mick.

No..... I'm afraid you've bought the wrong camper for a remote trip like the Anne Beadell. While not technically difficult in four wheel drive terms, it's long, it's rough & assistance to recover a broken vehicle or trailer is along way off. Cheers Craig...............

Hi

Further to what Mick has posted above, I would also say no. Yes they might be a good camper on your average dirt road, but the Anne Beadell is not your average dirt road with 1300 plus kilometres of some of the best corrugations around that will destroy even the best set up vehicle/camper. Also another factor is that it is tight in places and you will do damage to the sides of the camper.

The below pictures were taken out on the Anne Beadell in August 2010 east of Annes Corner. The camper had been there less than a month before we came through from the food receipts that were still inside. The sad part about the camper was that it would have been someone pride and joy, they painted the side with protection paint for the constant side scratching that the camper would have received, but met its final death where it stopped.

Yes people will tell you that it will be OK, but for piece of mind and not damaging your loved camper, leave it home and either tent or swag it. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it is better to be safe that sorry.

Cheers

We travel parts of the Anne Beadell Hwy most years, and from our experiences, the easy answer is also No.

Our groups travel with camper trailers but we only allow the top quality offroad campers - Tvan, Kimberley, Aussie Swag, Adventure etc. When we do the badly corrugated sections we reduce our trailer tyres to about 18-20 psi, travel relatively slow (average about 30 kph on those corrugations) and make regular checks or wheel nuts, shocks etc. A lot of the major damage is done by vehicles in a hurry.

Cheers
