Beyond Caravans a small start up Company. Last count about 150 Caravan companies alone, not counting Other RV types

Thank you for the link. The first one didn't work, but I was able to manually go to the site. Second link is ok. Thanks! I'll enjoy looking at the sites.

top one is beyond caravans looks like they make lots of flatbed slide on truck campers. 6.5'-9'.

next one is royal flair raptor. they make tow behinds.http://royalflair.net.au/

thanks robert. you have some interesting stuff down under.

I hate to pile on, but what is the point we are trying to make?

Yes they make truck campers and off road camping trailers in America too. Are you asking which on is better? That Hilux looks like it would die on a rough dirt road, even without the camper. That trailer looks like it would cost three times the camper on the Hilux.

I went with a truck camper because dragging a trailer up a logging road into the mountains and discovering the road ends with a steep mountainside on the left and a steep 200 foot drop in the right and no where to turn around makes pushing a trailer backwards down a mountain for a mile pretty crappy.

Even my overly large truck camper can be backed up, parked in a typical parking spot and driven on forest service roads, over miles of washboard and around switchbacks with only a moderate amount of concern for low trees and branches.

Way cool! Not my cup of tea, but I can certainly appreciate it. Thanks

Hey Robert Ryan - You sure are getting picked on hard with this report... Best not to bring up the cost haha...

I for one really appreciate your reports from down under... Keeps me dreaming here on things I might come up with in my OFF-ROAD trips...

I'm still contemplating using the independent suspension idea here used on the Kimberlys for down-under off-road trailers...


This is a CAT's MEOW...
