Gday, thought i'd join the site with the mostest campers/trailers.
I'm a suzuki fan, had a Jimny, sierra, vitara and recently got a grand vitara which i'm setting up as more a tourer.
I have a podtrailer which i bought back in 2009, it is ideal for towing behind smaller vehicles like the suzuki's.
Although mine is for throwing the camping gear in it rather than a camper when i'm not using it for work.

G'day 03GV and welcome to Myswag. :cheers:

Your've put yourself out there now, so you now required to put up the pics.
Suzuki sierra is a good 4x4 and quite agile, like a 4x4 quad bike on steroids. Matching one up with a lightweight Pod trailer makes a lot of great sense.
What kind of camping gear do you use. Oztent or Blackwolf Turbo tent by any chance?
:worthles:
Need pics

The old sierra on the nullabor, towed the pod all the way from south of adelaide across to Walpole in south west W.A

The tent i have is just a kookaburra dome, i like t to swag it alot. But more trips with the partner have got me thinking about a rooftop tent.

Stockman now have a POD - top tent available - Theres a bit of metal work to fit to the POD but the tent looks quite good .. I used to have the POD with camper fitted - Just sold it a few days ago ..
Ring or email Phil and see if they are still running the POD top tent - It was about 4 months ago when I saw it ..Pretty sure it was a South African brand ?

Thought i should update this, has been a while.
I have mounted my old trusty bushranger compressor under the bonnet.

I fitted some extractors a little while back, and just added a highflow muffler to that and am very happy with the outcome.
I entered a competition that i heard on the local radio in conjunction with the 4wd and camping show, and won an Engel fridge :cheers:
So i had to pick it up at the show and whilst there grabbed a transit bag and a fridge slide.
Its alot bigger than one i wouldve bought before a trip north next year, so thats a bonus!

I just finished mounting my second battery which is a tight squeeze in the gv, and ran a dual plug up the rear for fridge and accessories.

No need to live OS.
There's been a few GV's built similar to the one shown here. Diff lock's, 33's, rockhopper gears etc.
I also know of another Vit with live axle conversion.
All of which are engineered & registered in NSW
-
Yeah don't worry I know what can be done here! ;)
-
Handy little trucks those zooks! I've been shown up and embarrassed in the patrol more times than I care to admit to!
Yours look very well set up :cup:

I wish I never sold mine....was a fun toy that caused a few upsets for the bigger toys ;D

Gday mate.
We have the same model GV as the brides vehicle but at present the kids have stolen it. Was looking for a bull bar for it, what brand or where did you get yours from?
-
Hi- i also have a pod trailer=except mine has the factory fitted tent added to it. Quality is great-kitchen etc,
Needs some mods, like electrics-that's about it.
Great for the 2 of us.
Check out photos on intro a month ago.
Cheers, Chris
