TRUE GRIT
Smoke hung thick in the air, as we turned off the bitumen and pointed our tow vehicle up a dirt track in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Had I been keeping up with the latest news and events, there’s a pretty good chance I’d have chosen a different destination for our review. From our location, we could see the smoke plumes from bushfires raging in the bone-dry and rugged mountains behind the Gold Coast tourist strip, that would only days later go on to destroy the heritage listed Binna Burra Resort.
With one eye on the billowing smoke, and another on the dirt, we continued on our way along the dusty and rutted tracks, before settling in beside a little stream, that surprisingly was still running. The one and probably only good thing about all this dry weather is that you really get to test out how good the dust sealing is on the camper you’re using.
Thankfully, I can report back that the Metalian Maxi XT passed with flying colours. This can be attributed to the automotive door rubbers on all doors, and the simple but clearly very effective door locking mechanism that applies even pressure along the seal. There's nothing worse
