This is how the Aussies do it!

I think I'd opt to leave the RV at home and just bring the tent!

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

    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
  • 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.

    don't think I'd want the truck either

  • Since you don't have the snorkel, you better leave your truck at home as well.
