Thread: Iveco Daily 4x4

Mick, Its me with the Trakmaster, yes its a Sturt

The Chassis , suspension, furniture and Electrical fit out are superb,
The industry sourced parts like standard caravan windows & window winders, from suppliers like Dometic and Camec are just the same as they are on any other caravan. (crap) The windows fitted to my van leak dust and the winders are playing up after 2 years. Ive fitted a posetive air pressure system to mine fro stop dust ingress, a proper off road van should not leak dust - they could do a lott better in this respect.

If I was to buy another Van I'd still go Trakmaster as Ive given it a thorough punishment and its held together surprisingly well. I'd specify much better windows if they exist, and mount the front stabiliser legs up on the sides of the chassis insead of under it, like on the Gibson. Infact I'd probably just buy a Gibson instead of a Sturt, I could do without the Awning anyway.

They also sent me build progress photos, including all images of framing and electrical wiring routing before the cladding went on, which is handy for if I need to add to wiring or drill holes etc.

The Earthcruiser single cab is on my wish list

That monster is a "tricked up" Russian GAZelle (made by GAZ). The portals are impressive.

We bought an ex Britz Rental 40:10 Iveco 4x4 van all fitted out for camping from Melbourne, really cheap after they sold up all of their 2000 olympic games rental fleet when they came out of lease, I think it was the end of 2001.
It was a great vehicle, set up really good in the back of a high roof van with real off road capability, but fuel consumption, a weak chain drive transfer case and highway speed were the real setbacks. Sold it on to a yank tourist in '05.
I recently saw one of these new Iveco machines doing it's thing up on the Telegraph track north to the tip of Cape York only last month, they really look the business and it just romped through the deep water crossings, through erosion wash outs etc.
But they probably cost a lot more than my "only slightly less capable D1" so I guess I will stay with the good old land Rover. Gaz

Agreed there are cheaper ways to go off roading, but still the best money I ever spent.

Theres a forum up about the new Iveco 4x4, just a few days old and open to anyone interested
