The Aussies have some great Caravans [known here as Travel Trailers].

Here's the website for the Gall boys [Gall family] Caravans:

Here's another Aussie Caravan website that uses a lower second door
to combat water intrusion when fording water:

Here it is folded back partially covering the wheel opening

Over the years I've driven, towed, & camped in some rough places but, I think I'd pass on that... :roll:

The Kedron trailers are water proof three feet up, and cost more than my house!

I think it would be easier to air lift the trailer in...and out. ;)

Yikes, that's a tough tow. And not one that you'd want to do alone!
