If he left his wife at home, all he would be taking was a few tins of baked beans and an esky.
A bloke i work with did up? an MQ patrol like that to go to cape york. He put a full alloy ute tray (with sides!) on his roof to use as storage. His excuse was that he didnt want to tow a trailer. He said he got 20L/100 from the sd33 diesel.
I wish i had taken a photo now.

Waiting its turn. There is room for three families, a pig, and a basket of chickens on the roof before the goat gets on.
