The family is planning trip to
Kimberley,
Pilbara and WA coast. We have looked at campers at WA Caravan show and thought Camprite Camper was pretty good. From our perspective, it is very quick to set up. When set up it without annex it has seating inside and easy access (no ladders).
There doesnt seem to be many around and it is hard to get some
feedback other than thru the dealer.
Can anyone provide comment on the good / bad features based on experience.
cheers

Phil I have a Camprite Camper ,we bought it new 4 years ago and have been around the
Kimberley /
Pilbara , Emouth , And the south coast, It has been really good. They are very
well made although we have made a few changes to ours . We (the wife) liked not having to climb a ladder to get in bed and I like been able to put the camper up in minutes with the kettle on.

Overall, the responses are positive. The independent
suspension / design / construction are good but add to the price. The feature we have liked the most is the beds are set up for whole family as part of setting up camper. At about 10K dearer than the entry level, it is still at the low end of price range for campers with independent
suspension, wired power / battery, hard top. Our next step is to go and look in more detail and take the plunge. Other comments still welcome, thxs Phil

Hi Phil
We have just purchased a 2nd hand Camprite and the main feature we liked was all the beds up off the ground and room for sitting/eating in the trailer.
It is very quick to set up I've only done it 3 times now and can do it in under 10 min.
The trailer is 4 1/2 years old and didn't have a couple of the features of the new trailer (leaf spring not coil, battery system), but has just come back from a 5 month trek (2 adults 2 kids), and is in good nick so that bears testament to it's durability.
It has come with all the annexe walls and when up creates a lot more room.
Most of the mods that I will do have already been done on newer versions...ie positioning of gas bottles, bigger box on the front, couple of extra lugs to tie down the canvas.

Glen - I think I know the camper that you bought, assuming it was purchased about 2 weeks ago in
Perth. I saw the add and enquired. It had been sold before we could
check it out. Thx for
feedback, Phil
