EXPEDITION

The Expedition model is a touring series camper trailer.  Compared to the Escape series, it is wider, longer and taller, meaning it has more storage space for long-term outback touring.  It also has 3 seperate enclosed storage cabinets on the tent side, and has more options packed in as standard features, such as the water-tank, stainless steel tailgate bench, stone-guard, extra large storage box, independant coil suspension, double layered annexe walls and a power pack.



We have achieved enormous strength and rigidity by bracing the chassis as one piece rather than using the traditional welded on draw-bar.   The side rails that run from the rear through to the front are rolled, creating an inside radius that further stiffens the frame.  The centre drawbar runs over 3.6 meters from the centre of the body, picking up the side rails and through the front to the DO35 off road hitch.  We contracted the services of an independent external engineering firm to review the plans and advise on the compliance of the Australian design rules.  As a result, the Extended Expedition is rated to a massive 2000kg gross trailer mass.

The tent component is made in-house using the best quality materials available in Australia from the 680gsm (grams per square meter) tear stop Australian PVC, through to the 15 ounce wax converters canvas throughout, which is immersed in UV stabilisers, rot and mildew inhibitors and waterproof waxes.   We use marine grade heavy duty window mesh throughout the camper and offer our customers the choice of midge or non-midge mesh.  Other standard features are the zip out removable floor for easy cleaning and repairs, and the full double layered canvas over mesh annex.  The Expedition also features straight end walls for maximum usable internal space.
