Winjana 5th wheelers are dirt road and towable by a midsize diesel Pickup.They are roughly 25ft long. Notice the six wheel Ranger rhat can tow a 30ft 5th wheel

Also to keep it clean when running on dirt tracks or roads, easy to clean interiors. Yes it is fairly bright inside

"Plenty of windows"? I count 4 small ones, and none in the rear. Depth of field can work wonders, looks huge for 25'. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

Too many windows mean you fry in Australian heat. It is only 25ft, but built for dirt roads with many corrugations. See top photo As far as internal photography pretty much the same " enhancements"" you get in US RV Galleries

Not being critical, but just clarifying that it looks like plenty of windows, when it's just two small ones, but the interior shot makes those windows look huge. And that looks like a lot more than 25" because of the depth of field, they all do it.
Smaller, fewer windows make sense if the heat is severe. I noticed no roof AC, would they use a heat pump?

Airconditioning is non negotiable in Australia. 5vers are custom builds so whatever you want

Just want to add some unusual tow trucks and one case 5ver that you would never see in the US.Firstly a light medium duty truck that has been set up to carry a heavy boat as well

This is a European Cab Chassis Van towing an all composite non slide 5th wheeler. 5ver can be 29ft. Tow vehicle can have a 10,000lb payload

A heat pump is just a reverse cycle air conditioner.
I like the looks of these trailers. More sensible and less glitz.

While I do like the bright look of the white walls, how in the heck do you keep white walls from looking dingy in a very short time. We rarely, if ever, travel over gravel/dirt roads, and our interior still gets dusty and dirty. You'd constantly be wiping down those white walls and ceiling to keep them from looking dirty. Looks good, but seems to me to not be practical in a real world environment, especially if you do travel on dusty roads a lot. Which you do cite as being a frequent occurrence.
