My thoughts exactly. Why anybody would PAY to be tortured in one of those is beyond me. I understand some of the commercial benefits related to operating costs and maneuverability in town. But there's reason they don't hardly get used for anything other than in-town routes.

No it is not a Fuso, it is an ISUZU. The suspension has been altered to give a SUV like ride much softer than a F250, which has a pretty firm ride Very few would like a rock hard ride, if they are going thousands of miles over pretty rough terrain

Not according to the Host Website...check it out, exterior photos with Fuso on the front of the tipped cab, and a link to the Fuso Specs.....

The Outback was built here by Eathcruiser, then a U.S. sourced Fuso was added

My first reaction was "Wow! Articulated Chassis!"

I wonder what it does for traction... 4x4 for sure - all locking/lockable differentials too?

Neat units. How much do they sell for down there?
Thanks for sharing.

SLR Website

I don't see any prices for new units, or used units. At today's phone call prices, it wouldn't be much to call and ask.

Today's exchange rate is $100,000 AU is $81,115 US

(Remember about 10 months ago on this forum, a fellow from Australia came to the US, bought a new 32' Rockwood fifth wheel and a new Chevy 3500 pickup. His plan was to drive them in the US for six months, then shipped them to Australia. With all those costs, it was going to be about 30% cheaper than buying a 5er built in Australia and a new Chevy truck in Australia).

I'll take one please. How quick can you send one over? I love the back deck and its cover, want a great design. Thanks for sharing.

Varies as they are a custom build, but a lot more than what you would want to pay in the US, if we had population of the U.S., they would be vastly cheaper. Still very well built and the Motorhomes can go anywhere.

Looks like a good wind would be fun.
