Campers Road Trips

Yes, it’s so much better than having to stay home.

Hey Camper, I remember when you got that Ute and put the black paint protection on it. Just wondering after 100k how it’s holding up.

Hi Dave,

sorry for the delay, the speedliner is holding up well considering the bashing it gets, definitely some marks on the front. Worse fairing has been the factory shiny black coating that we didnt cover.

Couple of comparos below


First, mid-way through an average autum trip, so many bugs





And cleanish today









Here we can see the joins between the Speedliner and the PPF, holding up very well with zero maintenance











And 200ks after a pretty good wash





All up I am happy with the spend and ease of maintenance. Plus I still think it looks great!

More fuel bragging,

I like to keep the instant fuel use on the centre gauge and have seen it as high as 28L and have managed 3.6Ks at 0L (long downhill run back of Carins). Idling uses around 0.5L per hour for those power naps when you need the aircon on for 20min

These next few photos are from the last round trip ~2,000Ks


Start with that Silhouette porn, how good is a van





















Gotta love a country sunset, Didcot, Qld.














The bridge over the Bunyip Hole seems built to take a Bunyip





Some of these back roads don't get much trafffic...





Wuruma Dam





Too much light makes it hard on my beginners camera lens





Downstream from the Dam wall






Nearby house, I'd be too scared of bushfires to live there
