Gday again all,
Found a second hand aussie swag offroad camper for sale, and am going to have a look at it this afternoon.
From your own experience, if an offroad camper has been on several trips, apart from having the canvas in really good nick as it's very expensive to replace, is there anything else I should be looking for?
Did aussie swag do an offroad jobby in the mid 90's? It comes with the queen size bed, hard floor, 12v power/lights, new 3 way fridge/freezer,
water tank, gas stove, annexe,
toilet, shower cubicle (not one made of besser blocks), 2 gas bottles, 2 spare wheels. I called and it has new tyres, alloy rims, deep cycle battery that charges off mains whilst driving, and the canvas was replaced 12 months ago so apparently in near new condition.
Any hot tips? Thanks again!
Cheers
Chris.
