Hi everyone, 
We thought we would share our first adventure in "The Hilton" which occurred in late January. 

In our 4 day old Hilux SR5 Extra Cab with 3450kg upgrade and BP51 adjustable shockers we ferried over to Melbourne and collected 'The Hilton' from Kellie at Melbourne Campers. Then followed our successful shakedown circuit over the Victorian Alps, south to north, and back to Hobart. Here is our story, with pictures.

Our first setup was at Golden Beach, on the coast near Bairnsdale, Gippsland where we free camped in the dunes for a couple of nights. Ideal spot to not embarrass ourselves.  A big thank you to Kellie for correcting our set up procedures. We now correctly use the guide ropes, right way up!

Then we were off, traversing the Alpine Way. Beautiful country and the Hilux loved the load. We free camped at Hinnemunjie Bridge campground near Omeo. Free, flat, grassy and only 2 other campers in 1km of riverbank. Campfire, swimming, fish jumping. It was lovely. Drop toilet there also.

The next day we drove over Mt. Hotham and down the other side. The weather change from temperate coastal sea breeze to tropical humid was dramatic. Bright was sweltering and over-populated so we pushed on to Beechworth. 2 nights at the Lake Sambell Caravan Park was, more than, very nice. We camped unpowered amongst the pines and beside the creek. The advantage of being off-grid was starkly in our favour. We were on shaded, elevated, flat land beside the creek with a cooling breeze flowing. Down on the flat on the powered sites were the plebs in their Winnebago's and Jayco's, parked up like fleas on a dogs back. There was no air movement or shade for them and it was stifling. We got the better end of the stick and our solar panel worked, even under the trees.
This was our spot at Beechworth

King Valley (a regular favourite destination for us) was next. We free camped at Edi Cutting and deployed the rig free standing for the first time, so that we could have the freedom to explore and go off wine tasting. It was quite strange but pleasurable while camped at that site to have people pull up and ask about our rig and setup. This now seems a regular thing.

While camped at Edi quite a few storms came through. On our first evening a tree came down in the forest near us, with a huge thump - makes us mindful of what we park beneath. We wallowed and cooled down in the river beside us and on another day swam properly at McCormick's Hole further upstream at Cheshunt. Wine tasting at Pizzini and Dalzotto were excellent, as always. The coffee and antipasta at Pizzini were a lifeline out of Covid depression. On our third day a huge storm came through, 4 trees came down, bringing power lines down and blocking the road in. Our fuel tank was almost on empty and the petrol station couldn't pump (no electricity) so we were stranded. Not wanting to get our canvas wet, as we knew we were going to have it closed up for the following 3 or more days, we did the unthinkable and stayed the night in a cabin in Whitfield. The power came back on at 3am and in the morning we were able to refuel and head over the hills to Mansfield and then Melbourne. 
If you ever come into the King Valley we highly recommend detouring to Powers Lookout. It was a rocky bushranger hideout, high in the hills overlooking Cheshunt Valley. it is remarkable.

The Langham got a hit up for a few nights and then we ferried home to Hobart. A nice shakedown trip.

Particular things of note for us are:

The pride we feel when people take note of our Trayon.
The mattress with Froli is super comfortable. Froli slides around a bit so we might secure it at tie points as others have suggested.
Need for us to fit extra ties to the fly - stop the fluttering.
Incredibly good fuel economy of the new Hilux with the Trayon loaded. We are averaging 10.3 - 10.6 L/100km laden. I don't know how this compares with other Trayoneers rigs but we are impressed.
I have now fitted a red gel filter to the exterior light on the Trayon - reduces attraction of bugs to the door area of the Trayon.  The gel is leftover from our Dark Mofo shop decorations we do every year. It was simple to cut out a round, flick out the light cover and insert.

We were having an after-market heater installed and arranged to be there when the factory opened at 7am.  Everything had been lined up and ready when we arrived and the work was competed as planned at lunchtime.  

It's always a pleasure to deal up with this company and the helpful and professional folks who, despite being flat out busy, are always willing to pause to share their knowledge and experience.  Thanks guys.

We’ve done lots of homework on both the Hilux and the Trayon, asked many (silly) questions along the way.
Both the suspension and tyres have been upgraded, and some safety and recovery gear purchased.
Our plans were to travel to a campsite about 240km north of Perth on the coast. When we arrived it turned out to be busier than Bourke Street.
Disappointed but not disheartened we drove on a further 25 km north.
We found a most beautiful spot on the ocean edge, the campsite sheltered by sand dunes and trees no more than 30 metres from the waters edge.
Once settled in, set up and a couple of glasses of red the Ranger pulled up and advised us we couldn’t camp there as it wasn’t a designated camping spot.
So we folded up the Trayon and travelled a couple of km back to the campsite.
It turned out the be quite pleasant. Sites were well spaced and separated, good clean amenities, and social but not unpleasant campers.
So we set up again, third time lucky.
A feed of rump steak and vegetables done on the gas cooker, washed down with some more red wine, made for a very pleasant evening.
Those steps aren’t as easy after a few reds haha.
One very obvious thing is how easy the Trayon is to set up, pack up again, and move on. Couldn’t expect to be as easy hitching up a caravan or trailer.
Overnight got to below 10 which isn’t cold, but in a tent you would want to be rugged up in bed. We both commented how warm it was overnight, how comfortable the bed was, and how easy it is to move about inside.
We are very excited about our next trip away.

While East to West is considered the more difficult direction, it is fair to say the Eastern slopes while steeper were generally less chopped up on the approaches allowing good run ups when required.  

Our group of eight vehicles in total was actually a tag-along trip (first time we have taken this option) run by Moon Tours (Trent Moon) and catered for by 4WDining (Michelle & Jules) which made for a very enjoyable trip with navigation and catering outsourced.   Originally 7 vehicles but we ran into Ron Moon (of 4x4 mag) in Birdsville and Trent was able to convince his old man to join us.  Ron proved to be a great asset to the trip with his passion for Australian outback history and a lifetime of remote travelling around the world.

It is fair to say we were treated to the Simpson at it's best. Over 1000 dunes but with the unusual treats of the occasional lush green valleys and even a water crossing..

The night before the trip commenced we took a quick trip out to Big Red for sunset and a couple of runs up the steep side just to mark it off my bucket list.  After watching from on top looking out toward the setting sun and noting one chap make two failed attempts I slipped down the dune for my turn.  It was a bit daunting when the chap I was watching told me he was down to 10 lbs all around.  Anyway I aired down to 16lbs and cruised up much to my satisfaction.  Following a second run it was time to head back into Birdsville. The other fellow gave it away after his fourth attempt in his overweight and seemingly underpowered Prado. 

A few stats from our trip.
Our LC79 has a 3780 GVM upgrade and weirdly enough the pre trip fully loaded weigh in at home found 3780 kg pop up on the scales with both front and rear axles just under their limits (pleased I upgraded to a Lithium battery saving me 20kg) Our fuel tanks hold 245 litres and with our undertray water tank we have a total of 140 litres.
Fuel consumption was just under 20 litres per 100 kl for the desert section between Birdsville and Mt Dare station.
Only one puncture across the whole group was a testament to modern tyres given some significant sections of gibber. Lots of laughter and fun. (the only petrol vehicle was a 100 series consuming a stunning 41 litres per 100kl).

Hi-lights have to include finding magnificent green valleys, the odd tricky dune, a water crossing in the middle of the desert.  Of course the remoteness has its own special magic.  We only came across two other parties of 4x4's travelling in the opposite direction and a couple of motorcycle groups.  The second of the 4x4 groups had two hired Trayon's in their number.

Bull Dust was at its best between Old Andado and Mt Dare with clouds of dust surging over the bonnet in some sections.  For people travelling West to East it would be a bit daunting if you thought your trip would consist of all bulldust. Speaking of the Old Andado station it is of concern that there is no longer  a caretaker in place which sadly may result in the homestead being lost as a living museum.

Our group of eight vehicles in total was actually a tag-along trip (first time we have taken this option) run by Moon Tours (Trent Moon) and catered for by 4WDining (Michelle & Jules) which made for a very enjoyable trip with navigation and catering outsourced.   Originally 7 vehicles but we ran into Ron Moon (of 4x4 mag) in Birdsville and Trent was able to convince his old man to join us.  Ron proved to be a great asset to the trip with his passion for Australian outback history and a lifetime of remote travelling around the world.

It is fair to say we were treated to the Simpson at it's best. Over 1000 dunes but with the unusual treats of the occasional lush green valleys and even a water crossing..

The night before the trip commenced we took a quick trip out to Big Red for sunset and a couple of runs up the steep side just to mark it off my bucket list.  After watching from on top looking out toward the setting sun and noting one chap make two failed attempts I slipped down the dune for my turn.  It was a bit daunting when the chap I was watching told me he was down to 10 lbs all around.  Anyway I aired down to 16lbs and cruised up much to my satisfaction.  Following a second run it was time to head back into Birdsville. The other fellow gave it away after his fourth attempt in his overweight and seemingly underpowered Prado. 

A few stats from our trip.
Our LC79 has a 3780 GVM upgrade and weirdly enough the pre trip fully loaded weigh in at home found 3780 kg pop up on the scales with both front and rear axles just under their limits (pleased I upgraded to a Lithium battery saving me 20kg) Our fuel tanks hold 245 litres and with our undertray water tank we have a total of 140 litres.
Fuel consumption was just under 20 litres per 100 kl for the desert section between Birdsville and Mt Dare station.
Only one puncture across the whole group was a testament to modern tyres given some significant sections of gibber. Lots of laughter and fun. (the only petrol vehicle was a 100 series consuming a stunning 41 litres per 100kl).

Hi-lights have to include finding magnificent green valleys, the odd tricky dune, a water crossing in the middle of the desert.  Of course the remoteness has its own special magic.  We only came across two other parties of 4x4's travelling in the opposite direction and a couple of motorcycle groups.  The second of the 4x4 groups had two hired Trayon's in their number.

Bull Dust was at its best between Old Andado and Mt Dare with clouds of dust surging over the bonnet in some sections.  For people travelling West to East it would be a bit daunting if you thought your trip would consist of all bulldust. Speaking of the Old Andado station it is of concern that there is no longer  a caretaker in place which sadly may result in the homestead being lost as a living museum.

The first extended trip in “Smokey” #1076 from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula to Perth via the coast and return trip inland. “Smokey” had done a number of trips to desert, high country and sand dunes: through slush, dust, bush and boulders, but never for trips more than a week. This was a dream trip of a couple of months. Meticulous planning, logging of co-ordinates and bare-faced excitement as the time approached. Alas, I couldn’t convince Barb to venture with me as she is a devout 5-star girl. In spite of “Smokey” being fully optioned with heating, toilet, shower and annexe, she opted to go Five Star to Japan taking our adult daughter as a treat. Poor choice, girls!
While the trip had many highlights, I think Toolinna Cove on the Great Australian Bight near Calguna, W.A., showed the true mettle of “Smokey” the Trayon. But, let’s start at the beginning, eh?.....
Number ONE
Setting off from home, I packed for the two-month trip and this was Trayon’s FIRST outstanding point. I had about 3.5 cubic metres of storage! That’s 4 domestic trailers of space in a unit only 2.2 x 1.98 x 1.2m! The food alone covered more than six weeks of sustenance with pre-cooked, vacuum packed and dehydrated meals I had prepared beforehand. 100 litres of fridge space and 110 lt of water was more than ample for extended bush stays. 
Number TWO
Trayon’s light tare weight afforded me the chance to really load up and stay under GVM. So, I did! Win number TWO without even getting out of the driveway!
Number THREE.
I opted for the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff and the THIRD great Trayon attribute soon came to fruition: its’ compact and ‘pick-a-back’ style. No extra fees for a trailer. Saved about 80 bucks! Well over a grand when going to Tassie. I had arrived a little late for the boarding, so was sent to the ‘reserve’ queue; BUT the ferry could only efficiently carry so many over height vehicles. Which brings us to...
Number FOUR.
Now most caravans and campervans are not only long, but quite high! Consequently, even though others had arrived before me, the Trayon was only standard car height and length, so I was sent to board while the big rigs had to wait an hour for the next crossing. Chalk up FOUR big wins for Trayon and I was only half an hour from home!
Number FIVE.
The Great Ocean Road is a spectacular drive cut into the rugged Victorian coastline on one side and steep mountain rain forest on the other. Again, Trayon triumphed! The road is often very narrow and twisty with frequent high winds hurtling in from the Southern Ocean. The Trayon was a dream to carry as it has less sail area to be affected by high winds and the balanced weight and low centre of gravity kept the tug going where it was pointed. 
100 kms into an 11,000 kms plus trip and already win number FIVE for Trayon!
I’m doing beautifully....
NUMBER SIX
Bush camps are where Trayon excels. You can set up in 10 minutes while others are fiddling with tents, banging in pegs or reversing oversized palaces into tight areas. I had made a cuppa and prepared dinner while the domestic battles raged outside.
Now. Let’s cut to the chase. This story is centred around the most harrowing part of the trip – Toolinna Cove in S.A. Passing along the coast of Victoria and into South Australia was de rigeur for the 2005 Rodeo (nee Isuzu) and the Trayon. Solid as a rock. 
Then we hit Calguna in S.A.... My major purpose of this part of the trip was The Bight. I asked the owner of the Calguna Roadhouse what the 100k track to Toolinna Cove was like. She answered “Not many go there, y’know. You can’t get a trailer through and you need a good 4x4.” She looked out the window at the rig and said with a hint of caution in her voice, “You should be OK in that. How much water do you have?” I replied that I had about 90 litres all told and she nodded, “That should be OK. Good luck.” “Good luck!!???” Now, any sensible person would have read the subtext, but The Twit didn’t. Insulated by ignorance, I set off merrily with the hand-written directions she had given me and hit the first 12k’s of gravel with relative comfort. Then, things started to go awry. The gravel gave way to limestone rock..... it then became limestone boulders! Time for some serious 4x4ing! “Strike!”, I thought. How could things get worse? Words of great portent! Soon the boulders became hidden by the winding route as thick bush and she oak closed in on the track reducing it to a path so narrow that the grafting overgrowth was clawing viciously at the truck and Trayon. 
Virtue number SEVEN! 
There is no way a trailer would do this. It would be too bulky and if it got in trouble, there was no way to turn around, let alone try to reverse out.  Occasionally, I encountered some smooth short stretches of clay pan and blessed the brief respite from the battering. I pulled the wing mirrors in to try to preserve them from the talons of the dense bush, but still managed to have them both ripped off. While retrieving the first of them from the track, I surveyed the transport to find a trail of water into the distance dripping from the Trayon. The bush had stripped the outside tap from the side of “Smokey” and I lost 40 litres of precious water. The cover on the 15 amp plug was ripped off and I had also managed to collect a fair amount of botanical specimens in every nook and cranny of the tug; not to mention the severe scraping both Trayon and truck had taken. Both driver and the rigs had been subjected to some obscene shaking. No way any trailer would have gotten this far! Undaunted, The Twit pushed on. After all it was only another 65ks to go...
After a harrowing four hours we finally found our destination. Relieved, distraught and totally buggered, I set up camp in the most spectacular of places on the cliff edge overlooking the Southern Ocean. I was now exposed to fierce south-westerlies and the heath was obviously so intimidated by the ferocious winds that they refused to stick their heads higher that 100mm above ground. I could hardly shelter behind prostrate shrubs.
Virtue number EIGHT!
But, it became apparent that the Trayon had yet another hidden talent. She is built like the proverbial brick outhouse and was stronger than Greek coffee! The high quality heavy Australian canvas did not flinch in the face of nature. Neither did anything inside come loose, or break on the rugged drive. The construction is so solid that the 10 year warranty is way too conservative. Everything inside was still secure. “Smokey” had stood defiant to everything The Twit and Nullarbor bush could throw at her and I settled down thinking what else could possible test her. 
A distant rumble answered that question. A thunderstorm was brewing south-west of us and bearing down at horrifying speed across the Southern Ocean. I sat fascinated as the elements provided an exciting, if daunting, meteorological lightshow. I had opted to leave “Smokey” on the tray and set her up with the annexe. This gives the Trayon the equivalent space of a 5m caravan. Just measure it. I hadn’t bothered to put the fly on and feared the worst, sitting on the edge of a nearly 100 metre precipice with thundering waves crashing into the cliff face and winds determined to shred anything in its path. Now, courage is for the foolhardy and I admit to cowardice. Panic reigned supreme. Would the cliff give way? Would I survive the night? Would “Smokey” stand firm in the tempest?  Now was the time to relinquish atheism! I prayed to every deity I could recall. Maybe someone answered! “Smokey” had enclosed me within her womb and kept me dry and safe. Nothing was going to hurt me while in her care. Hail to “Smokey” and Trayon!! Strong, resilient, stable and reliable. Better than a German Shepherd – and I didn’t have to register her! I slept soundly.
Next morning, I packed up to leave by another route of 80k to get to the highway. What else could possibly go wrong?!!?
Well, the track out was only 80k... but 90% flat clay pan. It had now rained for the first time in nine months and suddenly I had 80k of slippery mud to contend with. Of all the luck! In a desert, it rains for the first time since Adam was a boy and I cop 80 ks of sticky clay. The brief stretches of clay pan that I had treasured on the way into Toolinna were now a curse. The All Terrain tyres immediately filled with the greasy red mud while deep ruts had punctuated the track with bog holes. Added to that was the insane serpentine nature of the track. 
Who on earth cut this track? On the flattest part of the world’s flattest continent, there was barely 100m of straight going! They must have been drug affected or had an epileptic compass (to readers, The Twit is an epileptic, so withhold the outrage!). Surely it wasn’t that hard to go STRAIGHT. I mean, guys. Point A. Point B. Straight line. Simple. Ask Pythagorus. OK? 
Constantly turning the wheel caused aching shoulders and much of The Twit’s journey was negotiated going sideways. Exhilarating for some, but not for The Twit. Fortunately (Ah! Good luck at last!), there was only low heath either side of the track, so I avoided trees simply because of their absence. Eventually opting to drive past the mud and cut my own parallel track through the heath it was some 3 and a half hours later that I hit the highway. Time to regroup! I aired up the tyres, kissed the black top and wondered why I had never had a love affair with bitumen before now. What else could go wrong? Try a puncture from traversing the heath. Thank you, Providence!  Fortunately, it was a slow leak and I could limp along for 100k or so before lugging out the compressor. Somehow, the truck and Trayon had survived not just the bush and elements, but also The Twit! I decided that Toolinna Cove was actually named in my honour. ‘Tool-in-a Cove’!
Number NINE.
I fuelled up in the next roadhouse and checked the consumption. The truck delivers 10.5 litres per 100k as an unladen around-town conveyance. I had just gone 200k, mostly in 4x4 on rough tracks and still managed to keep the fuel usage at 12 litres per 100k. On good gravel and the highway with “Smokey”, I managed 11.6 litres per hundred k. The Trayon’s light base weight of about 400k and low profile into the wind, reduces fuel consumption quite significantly. Caravanners often laud getting 16 litres per hundred k out of a similar 3lt diesel tug. If they only knew...
I opted for a caravan park to recoup. The owner said I could wash my muddied truck and van with the bore water. I not only got them clean but the large amount of mud had top dressed his lawn.
Now for number TEN. 
On part of the trip I came across a fellow traveller who was towing a large caravan. The road was gravel, but good going apart from some innocuous ‘whoop-de-dos’. It seems that his 4x4 utility had been brilliant on the flat black top, but the 2.5t plus weight of the van had challenged the chassis with the see-saw motion of the van on the little rises. The rocking had amplified the force of the van on the tug, so much so that it bent the chassis mid point. Inside the van was like the last six days of the second world war. Fittings broke, items were strewn everywhere. Now part of this problem is the inability to pack securely, balance your load and drive to conditions, but part is inherent in caravan towing. Towing is fraught at the best of times. Sideways stability in cross winds, parking in confined spaces, jack-knifing in heavy breaking, reversing into camp sites and stress caused by the lever interaction of the two vehicles on rough going, etc., but the most terrifying is the damage it can do to the tug. This incident proved all of that, if nothing else. $60 k and a dream holiday were shot to pieces. Not an issue with a slide-on like Trayon, though. The weight is distributed so that most of it is low and over or forward of the rear axle and presents a low sail area for crosswinds to affect. Result? A stable, safe and balanced vehicle.
Reason ELEVEN.
(OK. So I like odd numbers.)
I know I am singing to the Trayonner choir on this one, but.... Buy Australian made. Apart from helping the economy, there are a host of sound reasons. Cheap imports have three great drawbacks. 1. Dubious quality. 2. Unreliable warranties. 3. Backup service.
As attested on the Trayon Forum, Trayon owners have a huge regard for the backup service they get. It borders on legendary. My own experiences have confirmed this. The patience, pride and attention to detail from the Trayon staff and their agents bears out the confidence the Trayon ‘family’ of owners have in the company. Trayonners are loyal with good reason. (They are also generous in their support for other owners.)
A ten year warranty is amazing, but it is borne of the quality and devoted care that Trayon gives to its product. If all this sounds like a paid promo for Trayon, it isn’t. It’s just a fact that has embraced this owner into an evangelical zeal for a product which ticked all the boxes after 3 years of patient, careful research. Trayon just kept ticking all the boxes. I have never regretted the choice I made and continue to be astounded by “Smokey” – and Trayon.
Good Trayon Travelling!

This gives the Trayon the equivalent space of a 5m caravan. Just measure it. I hadn’t bothered to put the fly on and feared the worst, sitting on the edge of a nearly 100 metre precipice with thundering waves crashing into the cliff face and winds determined to shred anything in its path. Now, courage is for the foolhardy and I admit to cowardice. Panic reigned supreme. Would the cliff give way? Would I survive the night? Would “Smokey” stand firm in the tempest?  Now was the time to relinquish atheism! I prayed to every deity I could recall. Maybe someone answered! “Smokey” had enclosed me within her womb and kept me dry and safe. Nothing was going to hurt me while in her care. Hail to “Smokey” and Trayon!! Strong, resilient, stable and reliable. Better than a German Shepherd – and I didn’t have to register her! I slept soundly.
Next morning, I packed up to leave by another route of 80k to get to the highway. What else could possibly go wrong?!!?
Well, the track out was only 80k... but 90% flat clay pan. It had now rained for the first time in nine months and suddenly I had 80k of slippery mud to contend with. Of all the luck! In a desert, it rains for the first time since Adam was a boy and I cop 80 ks of sticky clay. The brief stretches of clay pan that I had treasured on the way into Toolinna were now a curse. The All Terrain tyres immediately filled with the greasy red mud while deep ruts had punctuated the track with bog holes. Added to that was the insane serpentine nature of the track. 
Who on earth cut this track? On the flattest part of the world’s flattest continent, there was barely 100m of straight going! They must have been drug affected or had an epileptic compass (to readers, The Twit is an epileptic, so withhold the outrage!). Surely it wasn’t that hard to go STRAIGHT. I mean, guys. Point A. Point B. Straight line. Simple. Ask Pythagorus. OK? 
Constantly turning the wheel caused aching shoulders and much of The Twit’s journey was negotiated going sideways. Exhilarating for some, but not for The Twit. Fortunately (Ah! Good luck at last!), there was only low heath either side of the track, so I avoided trees simply because of their absence. Eventually opting to drive past the mud and cut my own parallel track through the heath it was some 3 and a half hours later that I hit the highway. Time to regroup! I aired up the tyres, kissed the black top and wondered why I had never had a love affair with bitumen before now. What else could go wrong? Try a puncture from traversing the heath. Thank you, Providence!  Fortunately, it was a slow leak and I could limp along for 100k or so before lugging out the compressor. Somehow, the truck and Trayon had survived not just the bush and elements, but also The Twit! I decided that Toolinna Cove was actually named in my honour. ‘Tool-in-a Cove’!
Number NINE.
I fuelled up in the next roadhouse and checked the consumption. The truck delivers 10.5 litres per 100k as an unladen around-town conveyance. I had just gone 200k, mostly in 4x4 on rough tracks and still managed to keep the fuel usage at 12 litres per 100k. On good gravel and the highway with “Smokey”, I managed 11.6 litres per hundred k. The Trayon’s light base weight of about 400k and low profile into the wind, reduces fuel consumption quite significantly. Caravanners often laud getting 16 litres per hundred k out of a similar 3lt diesel tug. If they only knew...
I opted for a caravan park to recoup. The owner said I could wash my muddied truck and van with the bore water. I not only got them clean but the large amount of mud had top dressed his lawn.
Now for number TEN. 
On part of the trip I came across a fellow traveller who was towing a large caravan. The road was gravel, but good going apart from some innocuous ‘whoop-de-dos’. It seems that his 4x4 utility had been brilliant on the flat black top, but the 2.5t plus weight of the van had challenged the chassis with the see-saw motion of the van on the little rises. The rocking had amplified the force of the van on the tug, so much so that it bent the chassis mid point. Inside the van was like the last six days of the second world war. Fittings broke, items were strewn everywhere. Now part of this problem is the inability to pack securely, balance your load and drive to conditions, but part is inherent in caravan towing. Towing is fraught at the best of times. Sideways stability in cross winds, parking in confined spaces, jack-knifing in heavy breaking, reversing into camp sites and stress caused by the lever interaction of the two vehicles on rough going, etc., but the most terrifying is the damage it can do to the tug. This incident proved all of that, if nothing else. $60 k and a dream holiday were shot to pieces. Not an issue with a slide-on like Trayon, though. The weight is distributed so that most of it is low and over or forward of the rear axle and presents a low sail area for crosswinds to affect. Result? A stable, safe and balanced vehicle.
Reason ELEVEN.
(OK. So I like odd numbers.)
I know I am singing to the Trayonner choir on this one, but.... Buy Australian made. Apart from helping the economy, there are a host of sound reasons. Cheap imports have three great drawbacks. 1. Dubious quality. 2. Unreliable warranties. 3. Backup service.
As attested on the Trayon Forum, Trayon owners have a huge regard for the backup service they get. It borders on legendary. My own experiences have confirmed this. The patience, pride and attention to detail from the Trayon staff and their agents bears out the confidence the Trayon ‘family’ of owners have in the company. Trayonners are loyal with good reason. (They are also generous in their support for other owners.)
A ten year warranty is amazing, but it is borne of the quality and devoted care that Trayon gives to its product. If all this sounds like a paid promo for Trayon, it isn’t. It’s just a fact that has embraced this owner into an evangelical zeal for a product which ticked all the boxes after 3 years of patient, careful research. Trayon just kept ticking all the boxes. I have never regretted the choice I made and continue to be astounded by “Smokey” – and Trayon.
Good Trayon Travelling!

Planning to return via inland through Kalgoorlie and northern Victoria's Murray region. Then home to Mornington Peninsula.
Six weeks planned, but will likely take longer..... 'cos I CAN!!
Any advice/suggestions/recommendations welcomed, as will contact with other Trayon users who might be nearby on the trip.
Will try to post picks of 'Smokey' in her element!
