A couple of years ago a 1925 Oakland owner and his wife towed a small caravan around Australia doing I think about 130,000 miles in the year. John Cox the owner likes to tell the story of the gear box rebuild at a caravan park along the way. He rang a friend who sent him a good useable set of gears and he rebuilt it himself on the spot. There was another traveller in the same park with a relatively modern Landrover Discovery that also suffered a gearbox failure but they had to send away across the country for a second hand box from a wrecking yard and pay to have it fitted at a cost of thousands of dollars compared to the almost zero cost of the Oakland box. This Oakland has compression ratio booster blocks bolted into the cylinder head. We also have a couple that have been towing a caravan all over Australia with a ‘34 Pontiac for the last 30 or 40 years. And last year three members of the Vintage Drivers Club and their wives travelled from Melbourne to Darwin and back towing a van and two camper trailers with an A model Ford, a 1928 Chev and a 1926 Rugby. The Rugby has a modern 4 cyl engine and the other two are lightly modified and all run 12V electrics for modern electric trailer brakes. It’s doable if you’re prepared to have a go.
