At this stage I'm towing the camper. If it ends up that I'm the only one then I might tent it but the misses will be keen on the camper.
In saying that, only good quality purpose built OFFROAD campers are viable please.
Wouldn't miss it for the World, can't wait!
This would be great! Working towards it.
Great Idea! I'll be watching this thread with interest.
Just can't do it damn it!!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

The SA Parks actually ask you not to take trailers across the Simpson.
They can't stop you, but it is a heated debate as to whether or not they damage the tracks more than just cars.
It is harder on the vehicle and uses more fuel, but it comes down to your choice.

I guess a lot will come down to the track we decide to take as well!!
Much more interesting if you detour via (in no particular order) Colson's track, the Rig road, WAA line, Knoll's Track and QAA line, Rather than just follow the French line
all the way across.
Also won't be as crowded, seeing as how it's the school hols.
All just suggestions to make the trip a memorable one.

yep it will be definitely Not the full length of the French Line.

Are we looking at a layed back drive?
We just invested in this...
I'm 6"2 so its big..
Setup and pack down I don't see being an issue, as long as its not 5am or something silky like that due to needing to get going?

Yeah it wil be pretty laid back Kallen. I hate travelling with people that have their camp packed at 7am and are sitting in their car running waiting for everyone to roll. Drives me nuts.
Roll by 9am each day. camp by 3 or 4pm each day at the latest.
Keen to head South off the French Line though and get away from the Crowd.
p.s. Practice putting that thing up mate, i have one and there is a fair bit involved in putting it up and pulling it down. Plenty of room though.

Are we gonna have any days at all without travel? Would be keen to just relax for a day a couple of times.
I'm taking the camper for sure!
