Can’t beat the Buccy!

After 9 years of memorable trips into the vast West Australian outback, I decided to let the old camper go to a new owner and upgrade to something new, Can't wait till Friday to pick up the new toy in the attached promo video.

Just put a deposit on a buccaneer galera, found a decent (ish) priced one almost local, market has gone mental so the old crusader will be getting spruced up for sale next week, hopefully get a decent price given the state of things. Can’t upload images, keeps flagging an error .

Just a small hijack of this thread, Adria caravans?
Anyone had experience of them?

Almost bought brand new one before I went for the above, 8 foot wide seem huge inside, I was looking at the twin axle 623dt sava.

@wayne...thats a very dramatic video for a trailer tent ..

nice though  ... - .- -.

Stan, it's pretty accurate with the tracks we have to travel to get to the "good" spots. I have lost count of the Caravans and Camper trailers I have seen with collapsed suspension and broken running gear on our corrugated roads. Even this new one is not as heavy-duty as a lot now on the market but it still is a serious bit of off-road kit. Someone has already taken the exact one up to Cape York with Zero issues, a lot of others fall apart. The old one got me to some special spots over the years and apart from 2 Jockey wheels and a few bush stripes its as good as new.

Stayed last week at a small site between Castleton and Tideswell in the Derbyshire Peak District. Lots of space, very quiet and very little by way of facilities - just how we like it.

Reference Wogger’s question regarding Adria caravans.

We’ve had our Adria Isonzo from new and it’s just had its 4th annual service. The van has been 100% reliable with zero issues. We love it and have no desire to swap it apart from upgrading to a new Adria. The build quality is much higher than any of the previously owned British built vans that we’ve owned.

The Adria vans have a contemporary interior with a lack of glitzy touches that some of the British vans seem to use to wow buyers which suits our tastes. 2019 L405 SDV8 Autobiography

Cheers Buz
I haven’t heard a bad word about the Adrias, I’m off to our local dealership this weekend to give them the onceover

Picked up the new Camper today and am very impressed so far. The biggest surprise was that there are no bulb-out warnings on the car dash due to the submersible LED trailer lights. I gave up trying to sort this on the old one and fitted old school incandescent lamps to stop the constant bongs and warnings. The electric brakes also just worked seamlessly not even needing a calibration, someone must have heeded the complaints. The only thing I had to do was go around every door opening and adjust the locks to pull in harder on the dust seals. I am one happy camper. There are a few Mods I will be doing to std spec, a second 100ah battery, an awning pole tube to the front to free up space for a pantry pullout box. Modifying the annexe poles called the Raawcon mod and adding spring clips to the side poles, See the vids
