Johno
We have one our their top end models and are quite happy with it. We've had it for almost a year and note a few of our niggles have been addressed in the later models, but then again so has their price.
Just returned from the Cape and it had no problems, other than dust ingress at the back. Hopefully they'll be able to fix this as it's only the seals not working as
well as they should.
The Beachcomber looks a little light duty for our liking but it all depends on it's intended use. I would be hesitant to subject it to any serious off road work.
Cheers

Now was that the 'Fender or the Camel!

Cheeky twerp.
Didn't even try keeping it out of the Fender. Easier to hose out on our return. ;-))

Rosco,
Mate still looking for a 'Fender, think it will be the longest search in history! God he's a fussy bastard.

Hi Johno!
you might also like to look at Lifestyle Camper Trailers built at Oxley in
Brisbane. John (07 3278 6900) is the owner manager. They build an excellent trailer in a range of models. Ours has been out to Salvator Rosa via Isla Gorga,
Lake Murphy and
Carnarvon, and most recently to Diamantina NP via
Birdsville Boulia and out via
Winton. excellent dust seals (like car boot) all round including the lift up top. Camel was one on our final list but the Lifestyle offered more value (for us). Worth a look but make up your own mind according to your needs.
