THE DOMINO EFFECT
Camp by 5pm, I say at 3pm. A realistic goal, it would seem. And yet, the tyre punctures. The scenery is too good to miss. A once-in-a-lifetime animal emerges, instigating an hours-long pursuit. The intended free camp is jammed full of backpackers, strumming ukes and smoking what may not be cigarettes. Suddenly it’s 8pm, the stars are twinkling, and my rumbling stomach is refusing to be ‘tided over’ by snacks.
How I would love to be towing an Offline Domino at such moments. What a joy to have the option of simply killing the ignition, opening a door, and collapsing into a soft mattress. The daytime knowledge that setup wasn’t mandatory would give me the confidence to go further and explore more. But I’d be smiling too, knowing that the more extensive dream-lifestyle arrangement of the fully setup Domino is just the press of a button away.
THE BUILD
The Domino’s 100 x 50 x 3mm Aussie steel chassis is laser-cut and welded on a jig before being hot dip galvanised. The trailer matches its tyres to the customer’s tow vehicle and features Cruisemaster XT suspension. Customers can option on adjustable airbags to ensure optimal towing however much weight is being carried.
Given the trailer’s impressive clearance and chamfered rear-end, the tow vehicle would bottom out before the camper, but as a safeguard, metal sheeting protects the underside. The spare tyre winds tight against the underbody on a chain controlled via a remote winch point. This positioning increases space and functionality in places customers interact with day-to-day.
