Well the "Gall Boys" and Kedron Caravans go upmarket

Well the 4 X4 Caravanning family have decided to decided to add some lightweight "C in C" furniture and other improvements to their tough Off Roaders


  • According to Google, there are maybe 23 million people in Australia, versus around 40 million in just California, let alone the rest of the US. So how could it be that such a small population supports such a vibrant and creative caravan industry, far superior to the US?? I do not understand the economics of this situation. Someone will earn a PhD by studying this anomaly and solving the mystery. In the meantime, I feel deprived.
  • I want an Aussie trailer so bad...Fit, finish and function is so far ahead of the US makes..and it would look great behind my built 80 series Land Cruiser

    By the looks, it probably has a fuel cell.

    Really nice ideas down under and the fit and finish looks great.

  • They look good. Even a washer dryer combination. Do you have one of these units?
