camper trailer advice

I have just had a look at their web site and can't see a camper trailer on it.

Perhaps it has only started making them?

The price seems very low when you look at other new hard floor campers.

Correct me if i'm wrong please.....;)

It has been mentioned elsewhere (forums, ebay buyer feedback etc) that these may be "made in China", though i see some ebay ads mentioned "made and assembled in Australia", "100% built in Australia". I find it hard to believe that a camper trailer made in Australia would not have it's branding all over it. ;)

It should be noted that the fabric is a polyester-cotton mix, which is different to the more expensive varieties of camper trailers on the market.

I recall, possibly on EO, talk about these trailers some time back, when they were $7-8K, and these ones look very similiar. There was a new one listed recently that went for around this price (250716634889)

I give the water pump 3 days useful life if going offroad LOL. Being exposed with cables dangling everywhere is a recipe for disaster.

As they advertise them as Off-road, the paintwork at the front will last 100km of dirt road, and will end up being sandblasted back to the supposed galv finish. There is no stone protection anywhere on the trailer as far as i can see, which is needed when getting off the black stuff IMO.

If you want one of these trailers, watch the ebay listings and one at a cheaper price may appear....why pay the extra for something that may not be all that they seem.

Just my thoughts ;)
