Yes the manx would be great fun, But,
1. The longest leg we had to cover without fuel stops was 750klms into Diamantina Lakes National Park(Out Past Winton) I for one know my Manx will not even come close to that sort of range, If you think carrying 2 or 3 Jerry cans on your roof would be OK, then consider where you might put the rest off your camping gear, fridge, 40l of water, etc.... Hence the Patrol
2. . Now consider the Dust generated by 22 vehicles travelling at 100klm/hr on a gravel road(No you can't allways be out front, its drawn out of a hat in the morning).
