I'd hate to see the fuel bills of these Grey Wanderers using huge buses, trucks, and the sort along with towed trailers.

BTW when in South Africa years ago now, one of our members, "BigFive", whom I hunted with, had a nice newish Utility 4WD. The mandatory anti snoobab hard top lid on the ute back. He also towed a trailer behind similarly equipped with supplies.

He said he didn't want to scratch up his shiny "town car" bush bashing it, so was thinking of a open top cut off 4WD of some sort, Landcruiser, or something, as the bush bakkie. The idea was the second 4WD could be towed behind the better vehicle on the roads. Then used "on country" as the hunting vehicle. The second vehicle could be loaded up with provisions as a trailer for the highway jaunts as well.

Now my questions is:

- I assume a solid sort of tow bar would be needed. I'm guessing some sort of custom tow setup in front would be needed?

- I assume the steering front tyres would need to be "locked" straight so they didn't turn wherever by themselves, how is that done?

- In Australia, would such a setup be legal? He was talking about in South Africa of course.
