Not shure about this: Spree 5th wheeler.

[Mace]

A local is setting up this by the look of it:




Checked out the Spree website;

Dry Hitch Weight:               700kg
Unloaded Vehicle Weight:  3300kg.

Colorado GVM 2900kg.
Tare                1800kg.

I will be on the lookout 4 it when travelling.

[dazzler]

You would hardly know it was on the back 

[Kydar]

Mmmmmmm. I agree. Think that Colorado may be a little under equipped. Usually see those things hanging off the back of a F250 or similar.

[Bird]

I think someone posted photos of that or one very similar stuck up the high country trying to cross a creek

[Mace]

Yeah, that was a twin cab with a big dual axle van on the back. I remember that one. I think D4D posted it.

This thing hasnt hit the road yet, the Spree arrived two or so weeks ago, backed into the driveway  by a much bigger tug. The Colorado is currently undergoing turntable fitment. It hasnt fired a shot in anger yet.  It may bottom out on the gutter!

I will watch with interest.  I will also pull over if it passes going in the other directon 

That being said, its a great looking unit, with pull out sides for more internal space.  It would look nice behind a 250 or Dodge Ram.

Yeah I'll say. Just seems like it is destined to fail this one ?? Lol

[Bird]

he should get massively good fuel economy with that wall hes towing..

what about brakes, and clutch ??
What bout a cross wind? or head wind? he'll go backwards

Can you find out when he is leaving, we could make a myswag trip out of it.

[Matto]

But the Holden dealer told me that the new Colorado's are rated to 3.5ton towing capacity - that's 200kg more than I need for this.

Cheers!

Just seen in town.

LARGE,Oleander extremely Large double decker bus, real fancy looking, double rear axles, towing equally large enclosed trailer.

It was a behemoth of a set up.

Seen south west WA, Queensland number plate. Goodness knows how they've driven that halfway round oz, didnt look like it would fit under many cross road power lines,
Seeing Australia in comfort and style, wouldn't have thought thats bus would get too many places....
Wondered what was. In the trailer....

yep and thats with 1 person and less than half a tank of fuel!!!

[Mace]

Did you count the 100kg turntable attached to the tray?

have you spoken to this "person/Alien" yet?

[Mace]

No, I live very close.  Perhaps too close.  Ive been running thru my head how to approach the subject with him without appearing to be a "smart arse" neighbour.  They have  only moved in during the last 3 months.  If I had met them before the rig arrived I would be more comfortable with sauntering over and having a look.

As it is (Im known to call a spade a spade) Im struggling with this one. 

[Bunyip]

Perhaps go over and suggest they have a look on MySwag for destination ideas.

Then leave it to Lost to sort them out

say it as it is...

I work on the
"Hit me dont Shit me" theory.

[Mace]

Yeah, I like both those ideas 

I plan to spend a bit of time in the front yard this weekend and saunter over if I see some action.  At the minumum, I mite  get to check out a nice rig before I get thrown of the premises!

Stay tuned, consider it a mission!

Well, that answers the "how can I take my boat AND my plastic patio furniture AND my caravan" question...

oh I cant wait to watch him get that trailer and boat off there..

[Kydar]

Clearly what we can't see is the forklift being towed behind the caravan to get the boat down.   

[stessl85]

Easy launch.....just reverse the ute into the water till the boat floats.

Just hope he remembers to unhitch the caravan first....

I knew I was doing it wrong.
