Correct, little Trailers like the Trillium would be useless here.
Now yer gettin' carried away, Robert. You always make Australia sound like some third world country! There are PLENTY of small trailers giving perfectly good service on Australian back roads. I'm sure there's a contingent of folks that want to ford rivers and climb mountainfaces etc., just like here. But they're likely the minority, also just like here.
As for my earlier question per the superiority of that Aussie Aliner for brutal off road use: even the mfr. makes no such claim, and the most adventurous thing its advids show it doing is trailin' down a dirt road behind a tug that looks much like my own. Link to page.
I will say that the PRICE is "special"- $36,000.00 for a folding
P.S.
My Trillium has held up very well over many miles of rottenroad- nothin' like going slow on washboard/dry stream beds etc. Although I did develop a mysterious crack in the gelcoat somewhere along the line last year. Easy repair, especially since it didn't penetrate the shell.
No Off Road Caravans(Avan Aliner is a Campertrailer) make a fairly sizeable proportion of the Caravan population. As I said and the Adventure pack on the Avan Aliner , makes it last longer on dirt roads and where you take your little Trillum, That said the Aliner is a blacktop Campertrailer adapted for some dirt and minor Off Road use, the Trillum is a tiny Caravan, built for the blacktop.
