I finally got one!
It's second hand, nearly as old as the Defender and surprisingly enough it does the job just as good as the Defender
Photos tell a thousand words as they say:
The particulars are as follows:
95 Trak Shak
Independent Suspension/Shockies etc
Electric Brakes
Disco rims (I believe looking at them)
AT's
2 x 85 A/H deep cycle batteries
2 x 65W solar panels w/controller
Kids room
plus the normal additions/canvas etc.
It took us 20 minutes to set it up the first time, and about the same to pull it all down ready to move it. Hopefully with practice that time will improve a lot more.
NOW to go and use it, and see what limitations it puts on me off-road
Cheers

When we set it up we had a decent storm with some rain and there wasn't any leaks. I'm hoping the old 200tDi is going to handle it alright up the highway. Off-road I'm not quite as worried as I figured the lockers, muddies etc will help there.

Edit - whenever I get back over home (Tassie) I'll have to catch up and have a beer/comparison session

CEWilson I've travelled most of Aus.,in fact the only bit left is from Cooktown to the Cape.The rest of AUS has been traversed with a Deefer towing a Southern Cross off-road camper trailer -we have clocked up well over 100ks-alot off road.I looked at buying a Jayco off-road camper and I thought you end sleeping under canvas anyway.THe only damage we've had- nearly every trip-has been the clearance lights,even with the stone-guard. The only other things to remember the tent gets really hot during the day up North -cools down quick in fact magic at night.The other point tent pegs take a few different sizes in some places it's like trying to punch into concrete.After many years I still enjoy the camper and looking at you photo's i'm sure you will too.Best of camping in the future and remember there is alot of great adventures waiting.

Hi cewilson,
It looks like you have a great unit there.
The wheels, however, are the original 16" RR wheels (6" I think).
Enjoy,

Hi cewilson,
As has been stated above (Redback?) yes they will, but many seem to prefer the 7" wide Disco rims.
If you want some the same as on the camper, I will send them to you for postage.
Best Wishes,
Peter
