Rarely Does A Camper Exude As Much Confidence When Off-Road. Ron Moon Took The Terra Trek To The Outback To Give It A Solid Workout
WE WERE in the Flinders Ranges on some of my favourite outback tracks, towing a new camper trailer behind a non-turbo-diesel Cruiser. We were looking for steep country or rough creek crossings that’d put the camper to the test, but we couldn’t find anything rough enough to stretch the limit of the Terra Trek camper we were hauling. Terra Trek Australia (TTA) is an Australian company based in
Murray Bridge, South Australia, with a background in geological mapping and professional touring and guiding in Outback Australia. They know a thing or two about what makes a good, tough and capable trailer, as well as the features any trailer needs to survive long-term expeditions in the backblocks of the country.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, the Terra Trek Expedition camper was created for seriously remote travel, exuding outstanding off-road capability while offering a quick and easy kitchen set-up and a mammoth amount of storage. Built on a tough, laser-cut RHS, military-style, fully galvanised chassis with a single-beam drawbar with grab handles, it sits on a swing-arm, independent long-travel suspension with Superior Engineering adjustable parallel control arms using Land Cruiser bushes, all backed up by OME coil springs and shocks. Airbag helper springs complete with airlines for external pump up, are also standard. You can option this up to OME BP-51 shocks and/or an Airbag onboard kit for inflation or deflation of the airbags. Needing more, you can add an ARB twin-compressor setup.
