TOMMY CAMPER 6 MONTH REVIEW (Pros and Cons) | Big Lap of Australia

[@RetroBorg]

Would love an interior video.

[@GeorgeSoan]

No worries. Any particular features or questions on the interior?

[@GeorgeSoan]

Hello! Here is the interior video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYuqY2Z8hZKeba8

Great review! Couldn’t agree more about all the points 🙌🏼

[@GeorgeSoan]

thanks for watching 👍

I agree with your comments, the Tommy is for us and ideal set up. We were actually surprised by its 4WD capability, we have taken ours through the Simpson desert, the high country… our Lancruiser does not know it is there!

[@GeorgeSoan]

Wow! What model Tommy do you have, how heavy is it and what suspension are you running?! 😀

[@4x4xplore41]

We have the S4, but we have an additional box at the front. The GVM is 3.9T and we are right on the limit when fully loaded. The suspensions are Lovels, not sure of the spelling… the 79 is a beast. We had a hilux before, great car but the Tommy was too heavy for it…

[@GeorgeSoan]

@@4x4xplore41 got it, we have lovells too. Sounds like the cruiser and Tommy go well together! 😀

[@NealeDyster]

Do you know the gvm or the travelling weight generally, when stocked up and ready to roll? Also do you know if they’re still operating, I can’t make contact with the company at all.

[@GeorgeSoan]

We had a GVM upgrade and were close to that of 3500kgs when fully loaded! Yeah I think they are, here is their website: www.tommycampers.com.au/ Contact details can be found on their at the bottom of the page. Let them know you watched this video :)

I do really like these though we got a Camp King Canopy Camper which is 147kg.

[@GeorgeSoan]

Awesome, I had a look at those a few years ago. They look like a great option. Similar to the Alu-Cab camper. That is a great starting weight, a lot less metal is needed for the sides. We have never taken our Tommy off, so being mounted to the tub wouldn’t be an issue. How have you found the camper in general?

[@Dave_Gurman]

​@GeorgeSoan it's new to us and we're still fitting out tub. With the bed being able to be pushed up out of the way, it provides standing room in the full tub area. Our vehicle is a Jeep Gladiator, so off road ablity was important. We've just completed a GVM upgrade which now allows the weight to be added. We looked at Alu Cab though didn't like the checker plate look and not having a tailgate. The Alu Cab does have more length to the bed which means you don't have to drop the access hatch to complete the sleep platform.

@@Dave_Gurman interesting, everything has its pros and cons. I think they look great and I like the look of the matte finish too. If you make a video on the setup, I’d be keen to have a look. That weight saving will be a massive help off-road. Enjoy the new setup!
