After a BIG trip from The NT to Tasmania, we decided that having a RTT on the vehicle was more of a pain than we needed.
So I bought an old Army trailer (No 5). And set about modifying it.

A shot from last year. Probably the most memorable camp spot I can recall. On the point at the end of the road in Tuktoyaktuk last July 2nd. We were fortunate enough to be able to travel North early last summer, before may people started heading North this year. It was an amazing experience, camped right on the edge of the Beaufort Sea, witnessing 24 hours of sunlight (something I had not seen before and honestly not believed was totally true...until we saw it for ourselves). I believe that you can no longer camp where we did (and for free), as they are trying to figure out a way to cope with the influx of travelers. It's something I won't soon forget.
