haha...cool vid of minari past JPP. Literally nobody goes that way as the sand is too easy so its cool to actually see the track.
@wildworldadventures 6 күн бұрын
It's a great spot to camp, the sandflats out the back can be a bit boggy and the roads get washed away often but so much to explore.

The track looked sketchy in some spots. Can’t believe you found your phone after losing it. The view from the top of the waterfall is amazing. Then to see it from the bottom as well! Absolutely beautiful!! Hope to see some more awsome adventures & reviews.

If those campers are Chinese made you may find the bushings are imperial to suit the US market as 2” is 50.8 mm which is very close to your 51 mm. Just a thought.
@wildworldadventures 29 күн бұрын
MDC specified them as 50mm but you may be right with a US version got in there without anybody knowing. The repairer had a few MDC's with the same issue before.
@jorjimaco5331 Ай бұрын
Made in China... flash looking right up to the end of warranty then.... doors close .... no answers calls... things catch fire.... insurance claim ... premiums go up... Australian made has issues as well, made here with Chinese parts.

And the Toyota Hilux had significant issues too, MDC are a bang-for-buck brand ... which does not mean they are the best trailer ever made. You would have to be a complete moron to think that.

Gotta say that was very irresponsible towing that trailer knowing it had a serious issue with the wheel. It could've ended in a rollover and another innocent person getting hurt.

If I was given the same deck of cards, I may have played the same moves as you, but for viewers knowing you had an issue with the camper wheel hub, axles, wheel studs and you kept motoring, then the wheel came of.Iif the wheel that came off had caused and accident that caused a fatality or maybe a whole family to die, having to sleep in a cabin would be the least of your worries. The legal bill just trying to stay out of prison would be in the 100s of thousands of dollars.

@scroungasworkshop4663 Ай бұрын
Agreed, fancy alloy wheels have no place on an off road camper. I took mine off as soon as we got the camper and put them back on when we were selling it. Steel wheels are easier to maintain (bash them back into shape with a hammer if you have to) and easier to keep an eye on the wheel nuts.

My name is Garry and im a new subscriber.I owned a mdc camper years ago. I took a year off work, unpaid leave, and travelled around australia with the mrs for 13 months. I had to repair my mdc camper trailer several times. They are cheap trailers. Cheap supension, latches, canvas, electrical wiring you name it. I would not buy one ever again. There ok for a few nights here and there, but not long term travelling. Best of luck for your future travels.

Instead of a retention chain, you should always use a limit strap, as used on offroad trucks. Limit straps do not rattle, and they do not create a severe jolt to the chassis if you fully extend the suspension.
