Trakmaster Gibson
We’ve just bought ourselves a caravan! It’s a Trakmaster Gibson – the smallest they make.Capable offroad and easy to tow.
From their website comes the marketing speel ….
This purpose built unit has been designed by Trakmaster to meet the needs of those who want a compact rugged off-road rig that provides all the necessary comforts for the remote area traveller.
The Gibson Desert is not the largest of our deserts and that is the case with the Gibson Off-Road van; compact in size with a steeply upward raked rear the van is well suited for the more adventurous expeditioner.
Taking a lunch break on hot, flat open Gibber Plains away from flies is hassle free; just step inside and enjoy the comfort. At night set-up time is less than a minute and you’re ready to relax with a cool drink or a cuppa.
When its cold wet and windy you’re well protected from the elements and meal preparation is that much easier; you can sit back in the dinette and relax; and when it comes to putting your head down there is a generous size double bed 6’6” long by 4’6” wide (2m x 1.4m). Roof Height in travelling position 2400mm Raised 2800mm.
An Engel 90-litre fridge graces the well set-up interior.
A DO-35 coupling connects van to tow vehicle - we'll see if this latest version is better than the first!
Independent trailing arm suspension with twin shocks.
It sounded so good we went and bought one! But not before doing a lot of research and even trying a few different offroad vans!
Set-up for a night's camp.
Of course we couldn’t just have a standard unit so we fitted a few extras and changed a few things from the standard model. These included:
Engel 90-litre fridge/freezer.
Red Arc battery management system.
Improved water filtration system.
Gas/elec hot water system.
DO35 trailer coupling.
285/75R16 Cooper STT tyres.
Black Widow awning.
