OK, I’ll bite. Why are you selling another CT & what were the main things you learned. (I’m guessing that needing a lighter trailer in some country may have been one thing & maybe the need to travel slower?)
Am looking forward to your pics & trip report.

Basically, we are not caravaners. We enjoy camping alot so we thought we'd give the CT a try and the PRC built unit did an excellent job mechanically, failed the dust test though.
The fundamental reason is a very, very long answer that would probably be best delivered over a beer or beverage of choice. I am going to finish upgrading the engine (4" snorkel/airbox/12mm pump and intake manifold, not Pla$$$men) on the Patrol and either build a trailer or modify something to do some inland traveling. We are really more boaters (sail) and looked at a few on the way back. Headed off to the Sydney boat show this week to have a look see. House is on the market and have a couple interesting bites. We were by a couple TVAN's, they are good kit but wife has a couple health issues and we need something like a Eco-Tourer that is 1K kg's lighter. Ran into a couple great ET folks from TAS at Mission Beach QLD and spent a good bit of time going over the units with them, loaded, they are heavy.
