Our current van is an upgrade from a 12' bondwood, which started to self distruct after a quick trip to Cooper Pedy, Flouro Peninsula SA, broken windows, roof hatch (forgot to close it) etc. Also Jo driving and hitting cattle grids at 120kph didn't help ( company car at that time)
We now have a 20"Pedigree, cafe seating, big fridge, island bed, full annex and all the gear to make it comfortable, sat dish, solar panels (portable), etc. We have done a 10,000klm outback NSW & QLD trip with it as well as several shorter ones.
The accessories go in the CT when we go off road, that's our style of camping, I like comfort. No more camping in tents.
