It's nice but that is a ridiculous amount of money.

And the website.

If I had that much money to spend on an outback trailer. I would not be going into the outback. That is just plain ridiculous. In my opinion. :shock:

Steve, that is a nice trailer, a little big for me.

Actually I'm thinking of making a trip down-under to load up a 40' container with Tvans and Oztrail Trailer tents :thinking:

Even the Tvans are expensive, I looked at a secondhand one over Easter and it was $23000AUD (Given the current exchange rate it's about $20000USD), needed a tidy up as well with surface rust on it etc. New the Tvan with all the gear is about $44000aud. Now the Oztrail tents are nice, a good mate has one and although a little big for easy transport (his is carried around on the roof of his grand cherokee it is so long) it's real nice once its up.

Hmmm, must of screwed up on the conversion rates. I had in my head they were $12,000-$15,000USD :( Updating my Grasshopper profile with Tvan lines will be easily, although the back tent system will take some work :thinking:

I've only seen the Oztrail trailer tents like a Camper6, do they also make rooftop tent?
