driving gunshot with a camper trailer

Post by RockyF75 »

Had a customer tell me he did this.

Whilst I wanted to call BS, i didn't, cause he was a customer and their always right :D

but anyone actually done it? Going off pics and vids, I can't see it happening :?

You can (usually) drive Gunshot with a camper trailer you just can't use the crossing shown in the you tube clip. There are always easy/chicken tracks at Gun Shot and you use the one you feel comfortable with. Ask your customer for some pics or which track he used.

I was there October 05, and that crossing wasn't that steep and didn't have as much water.

It was a little disappointing really - I drove it both ways - five times. :D

a decent 4by with a treg coupler will do it easy both up and down.

I went with 7 other 4wds in June 07 and a GU had a camper trailer. Did it no worries at all.
