Hello,

Looking at Campers and have seen mars campers on ebay. They seem very big. Has anyone bought one of these? Please offer feedback for a new camper with a family.

We had a 9ft model which was great for two, so a 12 ft model would be good for the family.
My father in law bought the 18ft model which had a 12ft tent on one side and a 6ft tent on the opposite side, heaps of room but it was a nightmare to put up.

Hi there, a bit more info on what you intend to do with it, may produce a better answer.

I dont know MARS campers.

There is some great campers out there, but, there is also many that you should stay away from.

If you "stop and prop" style camping, GIC are good. They take a while to set up, but are HUGE once done.

Tambo are great if you what to venture out into the bush and are moving every 3 or 4 days.
