Thread: What vehicle do you recommend?

Great tent setup.

I would take a Perentie for a drive before deciding on the change. The Perentie is a unique bare bones very capable off road vehicle. However, a ragtop will be a lot more spartan than your current ride.

Thanks RAR110
Current setup has slide out queen size bed plus kitchen and storage etc all inside so I expect I will need to do some sort of conversion to still be happy.

What will you be doing with it?


I reckon the best setup is a late model Puma with a camper trailer.

Like a certain extraterrestrial we know of ?

We have that. Works fine. Good to be able to leave the camper setup while we drive around and not have to pack up all the time.

Jokes aside, having just gone the other way, I think once you have had the comforts of a truck, you'll soon be over the setup and pull down involved with camper trailers, roof tents or tray on campers.. I started with a 130 Td5, built the box, with the roof tent, and it all got very heavy and long winded very quickly.. so I sold the 130 and bought the 101. Awesome vehicle and it was hard to see it go. With the big diesel conversion, the power, speed and fuel economy was all there, but, we still couldn't stand up in the back, and once the bed was in there was little room left for anything else, which then initially sent me down the trailer route. Then you end up with a $20000+ tow vehicle, a $20000+ camper trailer, a heavy fuel bill and a day loading and unloading at each end of your trip. With your truck (and hopefully mine once built), you get in, turn the key and go.. Is there a specific reason you need to downsize? Just my thoughts here. Will be following with interest.

If that was a dual cab it would be ideal , assuming its 4x4 it just needs singles on the rear.
