know you're trying to impress me, but the place I grew up going deer hunting every fall had a rougher road than that for the last mile or so into camp, and I'm not exaggerating in the least. You don't seem to have a very good understanding of what the terrain in the American west is like.
Did you know that Australia is the flattest continent on earth? I realize it has a lot of dirt roads on it, but being flat makes it a lot easier to drag a trailer around because it's generally going to be easier to find places to turn around - or get around vehicles you encounter coming from the other direction.
On a narrow dirt road, towing a 36ft 5ver, I would say impossible? Yes I have been to Idaho, South Dakota etc Australia is not all that flat, hilly would be more like it especially near the coasts,
So you have towed a 5ver over of 2,000 miles of dirt road? I guess you have turned a 36ft 5ver around on a track this wide?
What is sad he had to shut his Off Road 5ver business because of age , his units have crossed Australia
Hey Robert where were those pics taken? I remember as a kid going up to Derby W.A from Perth , the roads were awful our friends drove an old Hudson but it was so low slung that the inside got flooded out during an overnight road flood in the outback. A guy in a road grader had to pull them out. Along the way all the water tanks on the road were empty cause someone had shot holes in them !
