There is a mob in Penrith NSW that manufacture a similar unit. Built by aussies to handle a good beating out bush. I looked at buying one but they started at $27,000 & went up from there. I didn't have they spare coin at the time.  :'(

A mate of mine had one at Forster over christmas.
It was the single axle version though.

It was a complete POS. I spent a heap of time fixing things on it for him.
He was upset more so because he had borrowed it.

I would steer well clear after seeing how it was made and all works - or doesn't as the case may be.......

Just my 2 cents worth after working on one first hand.

This is a bit unclear.  I take it it was less than acceptable?

Bloke down the road has one, I have done a bit of work on it for him.

It certainly is a spectacle....... I think if you need to have one of them, you should just stay in a hotel.

It looks like it has a heavy duty chassis, but apart from that there's not much to make it "off road".    It's length and dual axle would not be good in the rough stuff and I reckon the side extension would create a weak spot.
