RV REVIEW
HEADING BUSH WITH THE T4 RHAPSODY
Mention offroad vans and campers and,
London to a brick, Track Trailer would figure
into the conversation.
Based in Bayswater North, Vic, in a purpose-
built factory and showroom known as
Outback HQ, Track Trailer builds the venerable
Tvan. But it has others in its line-up, including
a range of hybrids that began in 2008 with
the release of the Topaz. This unit has been
refined over the years to its current iteration,
known as the T4 and available in three
variants: the Concerto, the Symphony, and our
review van, the top-end Rhapsody.
ENGINEERING PROWESS
Track Trailer doesn’t just employ staff who
know how to operate a CNC machine and a
staple gun. The company has engineers and a
solutions-based work culture, not to mention
the machinery, that results in some of the
most capable and praise-worthy campers in
Australia.
That’s not just me saying it, by the way. In
fact, the T4 won a Good Design Award for
Engineering Design.
The T4 Rhapsody, like all Track Trailers,
rides on the company’s inhouse-built hot-
dipped-galvanised chassis. It naturally has
Track’s legendary MC2-R asymmetric link
independent suspension. It offers 230mm of
wheel travel through custom springs and shock
absorbers. It has been uprated from 2.2 tonnes
on the previous Topaz to 2.5 tonnes on the T4.
The wall panels are laser-cut aluminium and
have longitudinal ridges which, Track Trailer’s
Lloyd Waldron told me, not only add a design
difference but add to the camper’s structural
strength.
