It might not look (or be ) the ideal balance for a combination ,according to engineers, but there is no reason that with an experienced artic. driver using "common sense" it could not be driven safely around Australia. It would be a long trip but could be done! Experience can make up for alot of "engineering short comings "

I would be worried going over a weighbridge or meeting a roadtrain with that poor little tug.

Drove a 2A swb landy like that one half way around Australia, most of the time off the bitumen and don't think I would have been at all happy having a unit that size on the back

You would see plenty scenery ...
The axles location seem to look like it wouldn't track well at speed?

Imagine if you got some forward - aft pitch going. It would lift the back of the Landy off the ground.
