I was over there a few weeks ago, loads of those setups knocking about. You can hire them.
I was in a campervan which was a bit less adventurous, but fantastic trip all the same. Saw one 4x4 that had a military looking trailer tent. Had a special frame that swung the boat up and top of the trailer. |

We have 3 caravans and wouldn't be without one, i can't see any real pitfalls. I must admit it's better if you've got somehwere to keep it thogh and don't have to fork out for storage.

my old Buccaneer is doing pretty well, 32 years old
but you wouldn't want to tow it across the outback, it would play havoc with the cut glass and china and at 2.6 tons it would give the toyotas clutch dome stich over those bumps |
