OKA, does anyone know what happened?

Whilst still manufacturing in Brisbane, they are now making and selling them in the USA as well.

Now this is a real Truck camper. Camped next to this guy in Switzerland last year. I'm 6' tall and it was double my height. Needed a jib to handle the spare as well as the wheels were huge.

On the other hand I can drive the OKA 1000Km plus in a day and get out tired but not sore. :)

Hence my comment about why are you messing with Defenders when you own an OKA.:D:D:D:D

mmmmm. No! Not on Victoria anyway.

GVM is 5T. Anything over 4.5T requires driver with a truck licence.

They have several sand the that was certainly the case for the one based on the shortie Canter when I was looking at them. They were designed to fit in a shipping container as well for those who wanted to take them over seas.

Aaah.....................a self confessed Land Rover tragic, thats me.:p

I've got to have a daily driver as well and whilst the 2WD Hilux twin cab on gas might be reliable, cheap and practical it has no soul. :(

Hence the attempt at a Defender Tdi. Deep down I knew it's cabin was too small but had to have a go.
