Our 7x4 camper has old skool eye shackle leaf springs with no shocks. The springs are nice and soft which makes the springs do the work rather than shaking the crap out of the trailer itself. That trailer has done the GRR several times plus much more rough stuff. On our last trip a spring snapped up at Mitchell Falls. It is easy to jury rig a leaf spring setup to get you mobile again and a replacement spring was less than $200 purchased from the mechanic near Mt Barnett on the GRR. Dirt cheap to repair (even if a 4hr round trip was required) and an hour to install and get underway again. Try to get parts for a flash independent setup on the GRR or similar.....
