:shock: That was hard to watch. I found myself holding my breath in several of their situations and could actually taste the dust in that one stretch!

If you look closely at that trailer, though, you can see that it is specially made with a metal bottom, not plywood like ours. Still....

Thanks for sharing that.

It is neat to see these special vehicles be built and tested.

There are a number of Gall boys videos on youtube and the Caravan is worth more than our house when we bought it. It is also one of those I looked at when contemplating what I wanted i.e. aluminum, LED lights, diesel heater, solar... Note that it is some what waterproof up to a point for fording streams...

There are some scenes that test the validity of the experience - one in particular where they go over extreme potholes with both the land cruiser and the camper - when in the background you can see level roadway! However it was a good video to watch

That is exactly what I was thinking. I was amazed that it could pull such a heavy trailer through that sand at all.

Did you see that one frame in the clip where the tire looked like it was going to burst as it seemed to twist?
