My last big trip was in 2010 and I started off with a car and a lightweight (1.9kg) bushwalking tent for a drive across the Hay Plain, over to Port Augusta, and up through the centre to Darwin.

Just joining. Recently sold my 10yo Evernew off road pop top. Just ordered a Kokoda Platoon II X-Trail. Only real change I made to the build was altered the wheels and tyres to match my tug. Now have 4 spares to fit both. Cheers, Rob

Can anyone help me with a solution to install hinged storage boxes to carry light goods to rear of a Fiat Ducato motorhome? This motorhome has 2 opening barn doors. I'm hoping not to have to attach directly to the doors.
