How did the Dirt Roader go? We are hoping to get up there this year Aug/Sept but torn between taking our DR all the way and tow with the Everest and shooting off to do tracks in the side. I want to go to Weipa as well. Or we tow with the Defender so we’d be slow on the highway from Melb but leave the van and sleep in roof top. But we won’t be doing the tracks that much this trip regardless. What’s your advice and did you do any special prep to the van and do you have dust reduction at all?
Hey there! you’ll have a great time!! The Dirt Roader didn’t miss a beat which was nice. There were a few mods our travel mates had that in our opinion out performed our setup. As for advice and prep: We had a mesh deflector type stone guard and it didn’t even come close to the protection given by the mat style under the draw bar (stone stomper). Dust reduction, we had the Dometic DRS (cheaper, don’t have to remember to turn on and off and no wiring required) but because they rely on movement to force filtered air into caravan to create the pressure and keep out dust, we found at low speeds driving behind others the dust came in. It was perfect for most of Australia but under those conditions the powered “Carafan" in our mates van dominated ours. We also wrapped the underbody pipe work in pool noodles and zip ties and it worked a treat. As far as screws, check the fridge, microwave and oven, we have seen people all around Australia with brand new vans who have lost these including us. We would love to do again in a rooftop! both are epic adventures! We were leaving the van and jumping on and off the OTT. Our remaining videos coming out in this series will show in more detail how we went. Sing out if you have any more question’s, happy to help. :)
Thanks for that, we have the stone stomper so all good there but we were considering the DRS but will definitely investigate the carafan more. Got the pool noodles on the list! Looking forward to the next videos. I’ll prob definitely have more questions!
