Dare I say it....... Mitsubishi Pajero., plenty out there for less than 5k
Some back packers brought my BILs dual fuel LWB MQ wagon I think it was to do a lap.
from all reports it made it and was re sold to other pack packers at a profit from mods added
and repairs done. Another Mate has a Delica basically a triton,
Utube a few that have been done up and they are very capable in the right hands.
Wel spec'ed and plenty of room
Here is a Delica, i would never own one but thats not to say it would not be PERFECT for your application.

I doubt the kms are real but its an intercooled 2.8l Turbo Diesel. Happy Days. Auto and ready for you to take the seats out, put a false floor in, $200 on Kitchen gear and ready to roll.
I bet you would sell it for a Profit at the end of your trip.!!!
Alternatively, a Pajero for the same vintage or early 2000 and you will be on a winner too, Turbo diesel Auto with factory diff locks.
BAN ME!!

I doubt very much a patrol will suit what you have posted as your requirements, especially a dual fuel (3 Patrols ago I had an EFI dual fuel GQ wagon which is better economy than the earlier carby GQ's).
To sleep in the back you will have to have the LPG tank where the main fuel tank used to be so you will only have a small fuel tank.
LPG is very hard to find in outback Australia so if you go to cross the Simpson you will need prob 5 jerries of Petrol or more plus a full tank of LPG to get you to where more LPG is available.
I also think you will do a lot more than 12-15 thousand K's if you are doing all of Australia plus the centre.
In Western Australia LPG is over $1 a litre on the highways and over $1.20 a litre out bush if you can find it
Petrol will be between $1.60 to $2.00 on the remote highways and Diesel slightly cheaper.
In the WA outback expect to pay $2.30 to $2.50 a litre
Your fuel budget reflects a small diesel or much more economical vehicle than a duel fuel Patrol
Hi ET, I wish diesel was cheaper than petrol here in Ballarat. I noted just yesterday that diesel was 10c per litre more than unleaded!Quote:

... and if you are a fair way bush LPG can be $1.40 a litre IF you can get it at all
