    I was simply passing on what I was told by a guy I work with. We were having a discussion about camper trailers as another guy in the office at the time is looking to buy one and the Simpson "incident" was mentioned. I have no reason to believe he was telling me anything other than what he saw, he may have been mistaken or got his wires crossed about the issue, I am simply passing on what I was told.

      Hey Andrew,

      Sounds like something happened out there in the dunes.

      Maybe Justin can clarify this for us, as I think the Patriot Camper looks brilliant, and I hope it works mechanically as great as it looks.

      I'm sure there's plenty of things that can go wrong during R&D testing, just take a look at some Gall Brothers DVD's! ...I love those DVD's!

      Over to you Justin, in the words of a flaming haired local, 'please explain'!

      Best

            I was wanting to check out a Patriot but ended up with a T-Van. The reason being I wanted minimum wet canvas to pack up. The T-Van does the trick. For what its worth mine has some issues that I will report once resolved.

              What is Justin to explain if nothing happened?

              What if AJ's mate simply got the story wrong? What do you expect from Justin for you to believe nothing happened.

              Why aren't you asking AJ to get more details and to check how accurate his mates account is, and then bring that story back to Justin and ask for the explanation..

                If nothing happened in the Simpson, then why hasn't he already said that straight after Andrews first post? Speculation could easily have been avoided.

                Not saying anyone's got the story wrong or right, I have made no assumptions.

                A simple explanation of what happened in the Simpson. Is a simple explanation too unreasonable to ask for?

                Justin has already had several opportunities to clarify events. What is wrong with asking Justin directly as I already have? It's his product, he knows what happened.

                For the record, I'm very interested in the Patriot, but before I shell out 30K+ for one, I'd like to hear the story.

                For all we know, it could have been some punctured tyres.

                Justin has also become a Pradopoint member today and quickly leapt to the defence of his product. To my knowledge, Pradopoint is a forum where we share technical knowledge and know how, so in that spirit, if Justin wants to weigh in....

                  I am happy to get more clarification next week, but in the mean time I think it is entirely reasonable that Justin either lets us know that nothing happened in the Simpson or if it did then exactly what the issue was.

                  My workmates story has already been partly confirmed in that they were in the simmo, with multiple trailers and doing a promo video which is what he told me.

                  Justin has joined the forum to defend his product, which is fine, maybe even admirable, he now has the ability to enhance his reputation by telling us the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, which may in fact be that nothing happened................. but I wouldn't bet my house on it

                      I am not entering into this thread at all. I refuse to suggest anything. I think patriots look tuff. I was interested in one. I bought a T Van.

                      Not that its relevant and not that I'm suggesting anything but didnt Mercedes claim an complete success conquering the Canning Stock Route. You know, where a Prado delivered the replacement shocks for 4 out of the 5 vehicles? or something like that?

                      PS patriots look good! They just didn't have one for me to check out despite being prepared to d5ive from the Gold Coast at the time.

                      mlc -not getting involved. Welcome Justin.

                        I thought Justin did address the issue when he posted:

                        Originally posted by PATRIOT View Post
                        besides the one we rolled half way through the trip, the other 3 completed the 18,000km trip.

                        If you need any further clarification, maybe email Emma Ryan, Editor of Camper Trailer Australia Magazine who was towing one of those campers or check out issue 80 of CTA for the full coverage. Or you could try Jason Andrews from All 4 Adventure who has the trailer I was towing to enquire about the chassis condition?
                        I took that as there was no other issues besides the one they rolled. Maybe I read to much into his post or I missed something because I thought he was responding to your question about the chassis issues.

                          A fair assumption Bailey, but see my post. The Mercedes all self destructed, except one! They claimed they conquered the Canning Stock Route. If you owned one of those Mercedes you would be claiming on your insurance as you could not afford the parts and mechanics to be choppered in or driven in. Perhaps someone that knows this story can give the finer details but its less than impressive.

                          I regularly end up in court as part of my job. From that I have worked out the easiest way to not get caught out is to not directly answer the question. As part of my training we learn this is the easiest way to identify the path to the truth (or whether someone is a politician).

                          E.g. Did you steal the $1,000,000?
                          Response I was not there at the time.
                          You assume they did not do it, they have stated the truth, but they haven't answered the question at all.

                          or
                          Will you introduce any new taxes?
                          NO
                          12 months later "We are introducing a medicare "co-payment"
                          You said you would not introduce any new taxes!
                          Correct, its a "co-payment" numb nuts, we care about the Australian people and would never break an election promise! ........

                              Justin said they completed the trip, but were they like George Washingtons axe which had 12 new handles and 4 new heads....... but it was a bloody good axe.

                              The Mercedes incident was also in the back of my mind.

                              I have no idea if there were any photos or video taken that I may be able to get hold of, but if there are any and I get them then rest assured I will post them.
