I have a custom made camper trailer with an austrack tent. I am currently in the process of putting photos in a build thread on MySwag. (Need membership to see the pics) This thread started back in 2013, and am now just catching up!

Looks excellent by the way

Grantm, that MUX looks right at home on the sand towing the camper trailer! Good stuff!
Cheers, ironcobra
Definitively need more clearance but - 2" lift & tyres is next on the list for the MUX

We have a GIC Ranger which we haven't used yet. Been tidying it up a little and have just ordered some electrical stuff to put in it so I can run another Deep cycle AGM to power a fridge freezer and lighting etc
Have joined over at MySwag and Camper Trailer forums

Just had to flip the tow hitch around so i could get the jockey wheel up/down when on Dmax......a suspension lift will sort this minor issue out though.
Dmax tows it brilliantly - you know the trailers there but with heaps of grunt it tows it with ease.

Customline Offroad Deluxe with a lot of mods. This it it on our solo crossing of the Simpson last July

Well you learn something new everyday......I heard they had banned campers from crossing the simpson due to so many lying rusting out due to mechanical breakdowns / failures.

Urban myth mate ;)
Never saw a single broken trailer out there. Saw several other trailers doing the crossing though.
The SA National Parks people don't "recommend" trailers cross the Simpson and I would guess that is purely because of people's inexperience but that was an issue we saw many times from just vehicle drivers.

Great camper trailer, built like the brick proverbial, but a very heavy ball weight.

These things have a virtually non existent chassis under them compared to last coupla Roadstars.
But it only going on bitumin nowadays and should be fine.

Paramount Duet 18ft. Love it, but currently for sale as we momentarily forgot how kids were made and now have 4 of the little critters, so an upgrade to something larger is required...

Thankfully, we know we have the tug for whatever van we decide on in future. :laughing7:

This is our set up 2 inch lift with Dobsons springs. Looking fwd to 8 weeks off and travelling north.
You will love it. We did a 6 or so week trip to Darwin a couple of years ago and it was brilliant.
