This is how the Aussies do it!

Looks like fun to me!!!

We had the Fleetwood Evolution 1 that we towed behind our Jeep. The Jeep was lifted 3 1/2" with all kinds of goodies to make it even better offroad, the trailer was box stock! It went where ever we wanted to take it but we usually took it off for the more fun off road places we went when camping.


Now, however, I wouldn't dream of it! ha! But we loved that trailer and jeep combo

Different beast you have a Camper Trailer not a Caravan. The Kedron weighs about 7,500-8000lb

don't think I'd want the truck either

The SUV would have no problems, Caravan would be worse for wear

I would like to see US rigs built to hold up like this. Most here would have fallen apart on the very first obstacle.

Not that Fleetwood! It held up in some rough stuff while offroading :) Also in extended use.

Not the distances they do here. In Western Australia you can do several thousand miles around the state on dirt, or corrugated roads

Over very much longer distances. Onthe other hand you have many on road Caravans as well

Wow. I have to admire their determination even if I doubt their judgement!
I guarantee they had a lot more trouble than the video shows.
That’s a situation for either a truck with popup or something like a Unimog based “expedition vehicle” sort of RV. Certainly not a Toyota pulling a trailer that weighs as much as the truck does.
That’s just being stupid in order to get great video.

Kedrom tests their Caravans to destruction.Off Road caravans as a whole do not get as much beating as this

at least he washed it at the end

I wouldn't want the trailer after they are finished with it.

Those Aussies build their trailers to handle that type of wheeling. They do a good job at designing it to be more like a boat and properly seal any cracks or openings. If you watch the video closely, you will notice the trailer floats through part of the crossing.

I wish I could still fly because that is just about the only country besides US and Canada I would love to visit.

My old rig :) I do miss the jeep but the new AF990 beats the heck out of a tent trailer any day :D I just won't take it places I would take the old tent trailer and jeep....not even close! lol

It is also not a travel trailer! Your rig looks to be better built then many!
My Fleetwood has done good.
