What owners say

Big shout out to Damian and Jarrod who helped us with our Iconn E2 roof strut problems whilst camping in outback Queensland. Jarrod talked us through the process of resetting the lifting of the roof and keeping the working parts lubricated. We really appreciated their help and we have our bed back in place for tonight and onward travels back to Perth. Thank you Margaret and Neil

Last month we took delivery of a new Mark 6 Track TVan Muranji from The Dirt Off Road Campers in Mount Barker SA. It is our second TVan and we are really impressed with the extra room inside and many other features. The handover we received from Mike Pavey and his team was exceptional and extremely detailed. Not had this kind of service for a long time.
