I hired a com last Feb to travel down south via
Bourke. down to Mt Gambier, great Ocean road, across to gippsland Up to Locola and across country to
Omeo via a track through private property that I know then across to the
Snowy river and up to
Jindabyne and up to the
Gold coast on top of the range. Four weeks of travelling nearly everyday.
Did a wheel bearing 100 km's east of
Bourke and had trouble getting a replacement.
Told that the particular type was not easy to get( this was a new COM).
Also when you are travelling every day you need a quick and easy cover over the pull out drawer. Pain in the arse trying to put the annex up in the rain. But a short annex just over the entry and drawer would be real easy to fit.
Apart from that it is fabulous I have looked at other brands since the trip and reckon this is the best by far.
The other problem was the spare wheel open lock. the pin can take a fair beating even if you are gentle with it we broke ours and had to get a replacement.
If you want a second hand one talk to campermatic they seem to be co operative people and offered to keep an eye out for one.
Pity I can't afford one, but then I think it is better to hire one if you arn't doing a long period trip certainly cheaper in the long run to rent for the annual holidays
