Taking a full-size caravan across the Simpson? That’s like wearing thongs to a snowstorm—technically possible, mostly terrible, often discouraged or restricted by park authorities. The dunes, soft sand and corrugations punish heavy rigs, wreck tracks and ruin holidays; recoveries out there cost a small mortgage. If you must tow, think a light, purpose-built off‑road camper trailer, travel in convoy, drop tyre pressures, carry ample water and fuel, and pack comms, a sand flag and spares. You’ll need permits (e.g., a Desert Parks Pass) and it’s best tackled in the cooler months. Check current restrictions and track conditions with the relevant parks services before you turn the first wheel.
