I have often been asked about the features of our caravan and 4x4 so I have decided to include that information on this web site. 

The following describes our present outfit, a turbo diesel Holden Jackaroo and a custom built 4.8M (16') Golf Bushman caravan, both of which we are very satisfied with and would be pleased to recommend to anyone looking at a similar 4wd and caravan set-up. 

The Jackaroo, although getting on a bit now, has proven to be a very reliable, economical and comfortable vehicle and the Golf caravan is an excellent compromise of size with accommodation for two offering all the comforts of home including a shower and toilet, yet still good to tow in heavy traffic and to out-of-the-way places.

Although not a hard core off road caravan, it's ground clearance, approach and departure angles are such that it has enabled us to tow it to every remote camping area we have ever wanted to visit whether it be in rugged state forests or just down beside a creek.

It is set up so that we are completely self sufficient with two weeks supply of water (at a pinch), six to seven weeks supply of LPG and solar power and generator.

For all practical purposes it goes almost anywhere we care to take the 4X4.

The main limiting factor is the relative lack of articulation of a ball coupling.  The use of load distribution torsion bars dictates the need to use a ball coupling.    Depending on terrain, we often need to disconnect the torsion bars, to not do so would put enormous strain on components particularly navigating a steep dip/gully.
