Camper Van Suggestions in 2021

I wish we could get Land Cruisers like that in the US.

They are everywhere here in Oz, pretty much the standard ride in the country.

Another vehicle that pretty much gets you anywhere, and I mean anywhere, is the Australian built and conceived OKA. One issue with the OKA is that quite a few of the main components, think axles and differentials, are sourced from the USA. This can make running repairs in the bush interesting; they are non metric. One memorable short trip was when I was a passenger in an OKA around 20 years ago. About 10 of us packed inside an OKA and we took off going about 400m down a river, then turned off and headed inland to check out how the stock were fairing in a riverside paddock that was flooding. The return trip was more interesting as we were heading upstream into a flood force stream, took a bit of effort.

Mick.

Those OKAs were very impressive eh. A bit gutless with the 4-pot Perkins but still good.

I was going to buy on, but at $120k for a cab chassis (IIRC) there were out of my league.

I heard there are being made again.

I've seen a converted military amphibious vehicle. That should get you around, and would be less intimidating than driving a tank. But you'll need a fuel truck to follow you. ... Recycled USPS vans will attract package thieves and always arrive at your intended destination three weeks late.

My ex-BIL's new (to him) rig. An Aussie caravan. It looks to be fairly impressive.

Yeah, but a good winch will get you stuck out even further.

I agree don't buy 4 wheel drive
