RV FEATURE
Australia offers one of the best opportunities to holiday in untainted , beautiful country . Given the expanse of the country , often a 4WD is the only way to see the best spots . They offer one of the most enjoyable ways to see the best beaches and bush Australia has to offer .
If you ’ ve never driven your 4WD offroad before , a 4WDing course is highly recommended . This is a practical way of learning your vehicle ’ s limitations in a safe environment , and will also help you learn what to look out for when you head off on your own bush escape .
A training course is highly recommended not only for learning how to drive your 4WD in the bush successfully but also for learning about the many other considerations we won ’ t get into here , such as trip planning , safety / first aid , communications and 4WD modifications to consider for travelling in remote country .
For the purposes of this article , I will assume that you ’ ve parked the caravan or camper before getting into tough-going bush or beach areas , as towing in such conditions requires a degree of experience to successfully accomplish .
On easy fire trails or dirt roads , towing a camper trailer is unlikely to cause you any grief , but as soon as things become steep , slippery and tight , a lack of experience is a recipe for getting bogged or sliding into the scenery .
