Off Road Trail Aussy Style

[Curtis in Texas]

I was digging around for some off road trailer videos to get an idea about some ammenities for my Spring trailer build.
I found the Gall Brothers video.
Don't think it has been posted here before.
Wow!

Its been posted here, but I can't find the thread now...

Still wondering how they got through some of those places, even after watching the video...

It makes me think my M101A2 is plenty light for the trail

I posted it here a while back. That video was part of the inspiration for my newest project!

Wonder why it didn't come up in the search before I posted????


Oh well. I did some snooping through their Web Site and noticed that in almost every video they use a different trailer..

Could it be because they tear them up on their Expeditions?:Wow1:

I also noticed their early trailers were single axle units, then, they switched to tandem axles. I think the tandem axle did better in the big dips, but it looks to be a real booger to maneuver in tight places. The tandems will float an axle much better.

If I owned a dealer that sold the caravans I designed and manufactured, I'd probably drag a few different ones around too.

Puts things in perspective, eh? So much for the M101 A1's, A2's and A3's being to big, heavy, wide, long, tall ....

The videos are quite funny to watch , dad and the sons go away and test out the new van , number 1 son , very gun-ho , seems to work on the approach , if I can't get through it , hit it harder and faster .The dad is on his case the whole way through the trips .

A good marketing tool , if we can drag this massive van through to anywhere ....... so can you .
Some bits that you dont see is the amount of damage they do getting there , ripping out suspension , ripping off rear bars , smacking the sides around on the van .
Keep in mind through ....its all filmed for the buyers , dont believe everything that you see .
Nice , big well-built caravans through .

Them opl boys need to trade that toy in on a Power Wagon That would make towing that trailer alot easier.
