Yes John - 2 trailers - he snores so loud, he even woke me up in my trailer once. I cannot sleep with a snorer. My sleep is shitty enough with the PTSD, I need my own trailer.
Ha ha when you come hunting with me then, we will put your swag a couple hundred metres away in the bush. I have sleep apnea so without a machine snore very loudly. But can rarely go without a machine nowadays. Bush camping requires more planning and thought and a little more gear.

My Hemi Dodge would only get 12.2 to 12.4 at best, but had to drive at 110kph. That truck felt too light for that speed, but dropped to 9.2 to 9.4miles per gallon if I drove at 95 kph where it felt comfortable. It was not capable of passing squat - not enough power, even though it was supposed to have 390hp - no (poor) torque.
When driving to the Top End across the Centre of Australia in my Landcruiser, I dread what fuel economy I get. Roof rack with cargo boxes on it doesn't help fuel economy or balance. Rocked like a boat sometimes. Speeds from an SA limit of 110 kmph, o maybe 130/140 kpmh in the NT (I forget what the NT limit now is? It was once unlimited before the bureacrat Southern socialists got their way). But fuel economy suffers a lot say once 100 kmph is passed. First trip to the NT in 1983 in a SWB Landcruiser we stayed below 80 kmph (50 mph) and achieved an average 35 mpg from the 10,000 km plus trip.

Couple winters ago, Quinn rolled his F250 Diesel in the Pine Pass on a trip to PG, so we bought a pair of trucks for a really good price - brand new 2015's in November 2015 - only $54,700.00 ea. for XLT's.
They pull trailers very nicely.
Sounds good.
