Corporation, where Gerard worked for 14 years in a senior role, was privatised, he decided to load up the family and head into the outback. The trouble was, he couldn’ t find a camper that suited his needs. With his mechanical engineering background, Gerard had well-founded opinions on how a true bushgoing camper should be built. The only rig that measured up was the Track Trailer Eagle, then known as the Type 3.“ The engineer in me was determined to have the best technical solution and it was, at the time, about three or four times the price of a tent trailer,” Gerard said.“ But the
quality will out and we had a fantastic journey with it. I became emotionally invested in Track Trailer and became good friends with Alan Mawson.”
COMMITMENT TO INDUSTRY
Unlike in the automotive industry, building a caravan or any other type of RV has never been a completely automated process. Track Trailer, however, has adopted technology that ensures each model is, to the millimetre, the same as the one before it. But technology is only part of the story.
