We have a "Seagull" shop here in Adelaide, so would expect them to have branches on the Eastern Seaboard.

This is great, The plan was to take the 130 D/C and make it into some sort of long distance 'expidition' vehicle. I chose a 300TDI for simplicity? ..... I am now in the rebuilding phase, which is to say getting it in some sort of good condition. The big question that on my mind (besides throwing thousands of $ at her) is does one go for a camper back or just roof top tents?
I have had some experience with travel though Africa (in a Hilux) fully kitted out etc. My plan is to go with the family , 2 adults and 3 kids.
What are the toughts out there?
Regards
Mal

Haven't come across them on here. But when I researched my EV their experience over the last 4 years cruising Oz convinced me to go with the 130/Trayon setup.




Personally I too started looking with the Innovan, but given its weight/size it would have been limited to either the Cruiser and Patrol utes (130 single-cab wasn't available back in May when I started my project, and in any case, since I'm 6'3 it would have been a squeeze). Happy with the Trayon, even though it's not as convenient as the Innovan would have been. It makes up for it with less bulk/cost and the benefits of the dual-cab truck.

This is quite a nice rig, I tried to look at their website but it's in chinese

I nearly brought a trayon camper when I had my dual cab, I think they are really good.
