Thanks guys for replying , you have confirmed my thoughts so I will maintain my lifetime practice of not towing in 5th gear !

Seeking advice / thoughts on towing a 3t caravan with a FG649 Canter - what is the top gear - 4th or 5th. Cannot find answers doing a search , so calling out to the likes of Owen, Dan ,Blackduck or anyone with experiences good or bad. After 6 years having the Palamino slide on, we have reached...

Thankyou very much !

I have done a basic search through past posts,but since I don't know what to call it and no access to a manual, thought it best to call on the brains trust to help. (Sure Owen or Dan will have the answer!) I have a FG649 single cab Canter & in front of the R.H.S. (drivers side in Aust) front...

The slide on is a "Palamino" 1251, build quality probably "not up there" - equivalent to a Aussie Jayco, but so far has shown no structural problems or any deteriation. We went with a slide...

You have picked what I believe to be the "best month of the year" to start your trip! Hopefully I will be east of Port Hedland - Marble Bar on the Nullagine River if the rains provide!

I'm a seconder for "goanna tracks" or Kim Boultons rims,very happy with them.

[]I would suggest trying to test drive either of these 3 vehicles in their standard form,and guage whether the ride is acceptable, & if ok you know that suspension/seats upgrades are available that can "improve" the comfort.I am on my third Canter & still own a 100 series. The Canters are a more...
