    Hey Joe if you planning on going to the Kimberley with your Jayco Wind Up the board over the vent won't be enough.

    My new Trakmaster Sturt XC is finally ready for pickup on Friday (only been waiting 12 months) so I'll be revamping my website soon to show my Defender & Trakmaster instead of the 80 series & Jayco thats shown there now. But for now you can see the Donaldson Aircleaner & Air pump I put on the Jayco, it pumps clean air in while we are on the dirt & totally stops the dust getting in,

    Trakmaster say I won't need it on the new van, we will soon see.

    Ahh bugger, why didn't someone tell me that 9 months ago. Millstream is where we are heading. Finally picked up the Trakmaster today, extremely happy with it. Should last a bit longer than the old Jayco



    Love the suspension,


    Not many Caravan builders will source Defender pattern hubs, those bearing are huge.

    Agreed a very good looking practical off road van that could go most places with little trouble. ... And just a tad more practical off road than ours. ...

    cheers,

    Not sure if we are answering the initial request but I will second Goingbush on the Trakmaster. My parents have had 2 of these and are, as we type, living the Grey Nomad experience (10+ years) in a larger dual axle Trakmaster (pulled behind a D3).

    Very well built. With lots of plywood construction to handle flex too. The story I was told was these were originally designed by a boat builder who wanted a robust van. Bloody nice, but not cheap.

    But I would call this an Offroad Caravan rather than a camper.

    I get the feeling Brigden67 is looking for a Camper Trailer - similar to Redback's.

    Also consider the reality of How many times will it get used, and how many months it will sit idle. Before parting with hard earned cash.

    The one he had was more like this.
    It must have been a Bushtracker rather than a Trakmaster.
