Tray top camper

Blair, it is up to you a lot in what you are prepared to spend.

I don't know much about canvat canopies but believe they may be 3k-4k. Tray top campers begin at about 6k-7k and go up to above 10k depending on what is provided in the system you buy.

I have a service box and have an Oztent just clip on the top of it. It has made a very fast setup for camping and getting ready to eat and sleep at the end of the day. We were told in a caravan park last week by a fellow who went off to cook his noodles and were half way through our food preparation. He got a shock he had neighbours! It is quick to get going again too. Traytoppers are not lightweight though - about 350 kg empty I think for mine.

Hi Blair,

We have a Challenge campertrailer, so that it isn't much use to you, but we have friends who have done many thousands of kms around the country with a Carry Me Camper, which is on the back of a Troopie. I think the canvas comes from Candys of Tintinara, but I think the box is actually made by Challenge here in Adelaide. It would be worth giving them a ring on 0412 821221. We have found Challenge very helpful in terms of fitting things the way you want them. Give them a try.
Hope this helps
Anne

Hi,

We have a Seeker Camper. Love it !
Opens up to the equilivant of a 3.5 metre Caravan .
Cost about $16,000 but for that you get the fridge 3 way, 3 burner stove and even the kitchen sink all built in. 60 litre watertank and losts of cuppord space Even room for the dunny.

We have just returned forom the Victorian High Country and not a problem.

The legs are a bit flimsy and I have had to replace then with heavier duty ones.
I have also made a few other improvements if anyone is interested, just reply
See http://www.trayon.com/seeker.htm for more info . Thay are located in just north of Brisbane
