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'm pretty sure i've seen vids of campers doing that track, but at times when there isn't as much water. still a steep drop off though.

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.

I did it in my old GQ and trailer in 04 and with one wheel with no brakes due to pads falling out :oops:
