tried + tested motorhome review
A tricky little feature is the LED strip lights
fitted inside the awning mounting at each
end. Not overly brilliant but still good enough
to see what you are doing and not in your
face either.

THE VERDICT
It might look small and simple but the
Trakkadu AT is a very sophisticated piece of
machinery. Whilst not being the size of say
Trakka’s Jabiru motorhome, it does offer
tremendous versatility in the ways it can
be used. It certainly can be used very easily
around town, with its capacity to carry four
people or large loads. Alternatively, in the

bush it’s kitted for remote campsites, along
with the ability to get to those same places
with aplomb and without difficulty. Being a
relatively light weight camper it’s also good
for the environment, by having a minimal
impact on several fronts.

Frontline Pioneer

Frontline Adventurer

The Toyota Hiace and Frontline have enjoyed a popular and
successful combination that goes back to the 1980s. Frontline
can offer the Hiace in six different layouts and can be purchased
with either diesel or petrol engines, also with a choice of Manual
or Automatic gearbox. The Pioneer is a five seat capacity camper
offering a versatile solution to touring and everyday use. The
Hiace Pioneer with diesel automatic sells for around $65,000
drive away, NSW.

The VW Transporter Frontline is available in All Wheel Drive,
catering to an increasing band of drivers looking to getting out
among the rough and exploring out of the way tracks. The Frontline
Adventurer provides four safe seating positions for the family or a
couple of mates.. A great feature of the Frontline Adventurer is the
front seat swivels to expand the living area and maximise useable
space. The drive away (NSW) price for the Frontline VW Adventurer
AWD Diesel is $77,000.
