16.01.2022 I retired in 2003 and soon thereafter purchased a LandCruiser with a roof top tent and toured around Australia for about 4-5 months each year until 2015. I purc...hased a Isuzu D-Max spacecab and my Gecko camper at the end of 2015. Peter the owner of Gecko Campers customised my camper, he made the tray to carry the camper, fitted the two together and did all the electrics. In other words I drove away with a complete package ready for touring. Having travelled this country extensively I had a good idea of what I wanted, which combined with Peter's own touring experiences, I now have a great touring setup. In the past four years I have travelled about 75,000 kilometres with my camper, slept in it nearly 500 nights, and would have set it up and taken it down about 400 times. Maintenance has been minimal and apart from the canvas with a red tinge to it from the desert dirt it still looks close to new. It has been over some of the worst tracks in Australia like the Canning Stock Route, Simpson Desert, Anne Beadell Highway, Gunbarrel Highway to name a few. I have seen many slide-on campers over the years and none come even close to being as strong. There is no such thing as a perfect touring/camping setup. Every touring/camping setup has compromises and the Gecko has far fewer than most. If I base camp I take the camper off so I can use the vehicle. If I go touring for months on end I leave the legs at home to save space and weight. If I am staying in the one place for a few days and I want to drive somewhere it is not that much effort to pack up and setup when you return. Last year I purchased an e-bike which will fit in the back of the camper. This is great for exploring while getting a bit of exercise and if in a country town for doing a bit of shopping. I could write many pages on how and why I have setup my camper and the products I have used. Peter is very knowledgeable on what products you use in your camper, but I am more than happy to share my knowledge with anyone thinking of buying a Gecko, just ask Peter and he will be more than happy to pass on my contact details. If my Gecko was stolen tomorrow I would replace it with another Gecko exactly the same as the one I have now. Here are some photo's taken from some of my travels. I am in a 4WD Club a another member also has a Gecko camper. See more
