New Project. Camper trailer set up. Track Trailer Desert Eagle. Back to the future.

New Project.

1996 Track Trailer Desert Eagle.


After a few years of being on the dark side (caravan) I've decided to go back to a camper trailer to reach the more inaccessible places. Not that I don't appreciate the caravan, but after 2000 km's recently on corrugated dirt road, it didn't really like the dust and rocks. 

So I've picked up a 1996 Track Trailer Desert Eagle for a bargain.
It's in pretty good condition for its age and doesn't appear to have been abused. 







These are the predecessors to the Track Trailer T-Van.  Similar chassis  with the military grade MC2 independent suspension.

We intended to get it set up with all of our canvas products. As it doesn't have a kitchen, we will be using our Cutlery Rolls, Canvas kitchen bags etc to get it set up for comfortable camping anywhere we choose to venture.

I've got heaps to do, but I think we'll take it for a test run soon, just to see what needs doing.
Just check all of the bearings, brakes etc and then we're off.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
