Your bloody English is a lot better than most who post !!!!!
Sorry I can't help you with the Trayon Camper. Happy hunting

Ralf
I am not sure how much the trayton is but they are not cheap. Another company that makes a trayback camper is www.candycanvas.com.au they are a bit different design but I know several people with them and they are very happy.
Cheers

the post immediatly above is quite right, there are many options and clicking on the rig pic here will show what I have done. It depends what you want to spend but all sorts of things can be built. Mine is actually a work vehicle. Australian magazines list 4 or 5 different options on the back of tray vehicles. Candy Canvas, Trayon, Heaslip and Metalform that built mine are just some. They are all very quick setup and repack in comparison to many other systems of camping.

Complete systems are A$10k to A$24k I think depending on fitout with Candy beginning lower with no internal drawers or fridge/slide.

Hi Ralf,
Have seen the Trayon at many camping shows and it looks to be a well engineered product.I would say only enough room for two people inside comfortably and from memory was around the $15,000 mark with extra's available.www.trayon.com for more info.Don't worry about your bloody english as it is better than the bloody english of many of the aussies on this site.
cheers mark

Ralf. I travell regulary with a friend who has the Trayon Camper & it's brilliant. It's size is comfortable for 2 people & can be set up in under 5 minutes. It is a little heavy on the back fully loaded but that is because it has been built so strong.
4 wind down legs allow the unit to be removed and braced with stays. A little time consuming (40 min) but then the ute is free to do day trips. The tent part is well ventilated for hot nights & the kitchen area makes good use of the space.
If you want the features of a camper trailer without the need to tow this is a great option. Also allows you to tow a boat if needed as my mate does.

hi,

thanks !! I will look for Metalform info, Heaslip and candy Canvas are known.

If the box costs 15000 marks; I will byu it ! If I ask Trayon for information,they forward me to their european dealer in France. His price is 16000 Euros, this is about 29000 to 30000 Au$, I think, thats to much. The trayon is the only known solution, which fits my wishes nearly. It is a real lightweight, it doubles the room of the tray. If needed, I can heat it, it is not higher than the cabin and if you need more equipement for longer desert trips, you can use an additional roof rack on top of the Cabin.
In the moment, I use a roof top tent, but we want to go to Iceland, and have three little girls, who need a dry and heatable room, the wheather there is not as good as in northern africa. There it's warm, every day.

Thats my problem and trayon looks like a good solution. If you have another idea, will be happy :-)

See you in the desert !! You have very nice country, I've been there four times.

Regards Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I have one now for nearly 3 years . It is very good. Well built, and have very few problems with it. I really could not improve on it. The origionl mattress was too soft, and can not be more than 5 Cm thick. I still find the medium density foam comfortable though.

The few problems are of course canvas and wet weather. If the canvas is wet it goes into the 'box' along with the pillows and bedding. I carry plastic sheeting to cover the seats, pillows and bedding. I also have made a sell supporting fly to go over the canvas area to keep the rain and sun away. This also allows the windows to be open during wet weather.

The standard legs are too flimsy for the larger 4WD tabletop, which have windup legs with a handle.

On arrival at camp it can be open up in less than a minute but another 5 minutes sees it ready for the night

contact me at websites at getnetted dot com dot au for more info

@dunedigger: What means "flimsy" ;-) Is it a problem, to carry the Canvas, when it is wet? I think that will happen in Iceland. Your heating is an interesting idea. Do you remember the price of your box ?

Why is your nick "dunedigger", I didn't see any real dune in australia ;-)

Thank you Ralf
