Do you really need all that bar work, tyres, and fuel for 99% of the time? Why not a smaller trailer? Seriously. Do you actually need all that room in your van? It seems to me that there is plenty of available GVM and GCM in most 4wds but people take waaaay too much crap with them. Go on an equipment diet and get out there and enjoy the world. Stop lusting after things you don't really need.

(Now crouching preparing for the onslaught of the "but I need a microwave and satellite dish to enjoy the bush" brigade.) 😃

You clearly don't have small kids or a wife that won't enjoy camping without her creature comforts! I happily sleep under a tarp and live on baked beans and two minute noodles :)

Nah Stuart, I just married the right woman. :wasntme: I have a nearly three year old, an 18 month old and a pregnant wife. We get by fine with our D2 and xtrail camper trailer. I can carry 3 jerries of diesel in a special compartment so don't need a long range tank, have a shower, toilet and fridge on board and a super comfy inner spring queen size mattress. My wife is happy as :D.

A cheaper option for many who aren't already hitched and have needy children is to survey a prospective mate to determine what "creature comforts" they'll need when camping. Scratch anyone off the list who won't poo in a hole in the ground. :Rolling:

We sold the D2 to my son. Still in the family.

And my sister purchased Dads D3...

We have a few :)
