Pioneer Off Road Camper Trailers

Hi,

I have just brought the prospector mark 2. Mine was brought for the price rather than how it compared to others in the market. One of my mates owns a Campomatic and has just returned from a round Aus trip.

My thoughts in comparing Pioneer, KK and Campomatic are- the Pioneer is much, much lighter but strength wise looks like it will handle it. I'm from the old school were bigger is better but the draw back is weight. I had no trouble pulling my camper up a very soft dune but my mate with his Campomatic had huge dramas. In this case it was purely weight that was the issue, tyres were at the lowest you'd go and he had plenty of power and skill but it took hours to get him up there.

Kitchen in the Pioneer is very basic compared to the other two. Appointments seem to be similar or better depending on the model. Finish is good and very similar to the KK in setting up. KK and Campomatic have the name due to being some of the first to use this concept. Will it make any difference with resale, my opinion is probably not.

So far I'm happy with ours and intend doing a 6mth trip to the Kimblery and Pilbra region next year. If I buy again I'd probably buy a different unit, maybe the Cape York unit or a Campomatic. Only because they are made stronger but again the drawback is hundreds of kg's heavier and do you need the extra strength. I think my Pioneer will handle everything I throw at it and probably get to more places than the heavier units.

What city are you in? Might be able to get you a better price if in Brisy.

I have a prospector 11 4x4 they are great trailers at good prices. Email me if you want more info dazza0503@hotmail.com
