Re: First Caravan Tow with the Exy
Thats pretty bad economy, only getting 300kms.
The brakes weren't on on the caravan were they.

G'day PT
Sorry 'bout such a late reply .... we hired an off-road camper trailer (from DiscoverOz Camper Hire) and travelled 8,000kms around central Australia, last July. Most of the trip was, unfortunately, on the black stuff. But the majority of the trip from Alice Springs to Kings Canyon was across deeply corrugated, bull-dust covered tracks (with lots of large irregular shaped rocks thrown in for good measure).
Our exy (T31 Ti CVT) handled the towing exceptionally well and the camper trailer sat comfortably behind us (as it should) for the whole trip (meaning ... it didn't bounce around like a small box trailer).
Namatjira Drive (from Alice Springs) was pretty rough at places (refer pic), and whilst we were only doing a maximum of 80kmh, we were still overtaken (by a Mitsubishi L300 ) doing break-neck speeds
I hope this information isn't too late for you. If you need any further info, please feel free to ask.
