‘Brutus’ is a 2012 Nissan Navara ST dual cab purchased new one chilly winters morning. I had never thought in my wildest dreams that I would purchase a new vehicle. But after checking out the used car market for a two year old car with 50000km, I decided to spend the extra five grand and get exactly what was needed, and with a warranty. You get a lot of car these days, and a comfortable one at that, for $40,000.

Unfortunately a straight car will not cut it as a vehicle to make the trip around oz. So many extras were added make sure the vehicle was not only capable of carrying ‘Bertha’ but also of tackling some decent off-road stuff as well.

Extras above standard included:

Caddy canopy with lift out windows

Fridge slide with Engel fridge

Redarc dual battery set up

2 inch suspension lift

Airtech snorkle

IPF driving lights

Bridgestone Dueller AT tyres

Rhino roof racks and cages with custom made pvc roof bag

Sunseeker II side awning

Clearview caravan mirrors

Now the vehicle is fully set up so that when we leave the caravan behind we are aptly equipped to camp out in swags under the stars.
