good evening guys and girls
im just wondering if there is anyone out there who owns one???
we are preparing for a 6 month trek around Australia in about 18 months and are starting to do our research now, and having gone trhough the task of choosing a camper this is what weve come up with, Spent
well over an hour talking to Glenn who owns and builds the trailers at the 4x4 show the other day and was very impressed with what he had to offer, id just like to know whether anyone on the board has owned or does own one of his trailers??? if you do itd be good to hear from you

Hi Meg,
Currently own the full off road version, very happy with trailer & the after sale service from the owners Glenn & Trish. Have had it for a few years now, we've dragged it to Fraser, up the Cape, Through the High Country & are planning currently for a Simpson Dessert trip later this year.
Enjoy your purchase & I hope to see you out there,
OM&M.

I don't own one of Glenn's trailers but i had him fabricate a piece of my trailer's tent frame which had broken. It was done with no fuss or bother and it was even arranged for me to pick it up at the Illawarra Show last year....to save me the drive over to Seven Hills....
I was looking at his trailers while i was at the factory and i think they are
well constructed and the people working with him are only too pleased to show off their work...
Trish and Glenn are easy to talk to and i say hello whenever i see them at the shows.....if i was in the market for a new trailer they would be up the top of my list....

great to hear OM&M,
glenn and trish could not have been any more helpful or nicer about the whole ordeal of picking a trailer. there were others there that i was a surprise to actually see that they were a stakeholder within the company because they didnt seem to care for much or at times know much about the campers. Dean and i have our own needs and wants and Glenn was able to meet us with these and most of which usually come under the 'options' list are standard on the All Terrain campers. there were a few things which we liked such as
-full 100x50 drawbar/chassis
-every window with an annex
-roof height
-seals on the trailer
-steel floor for insurance pruposes
-the simplicity, but functionality of the trailer and accessories
-value for money
-glenns down to earth nature, honesty and most of all that got us was that he listened and remebered things we had said. "i dont want to be the guy who will sell you a trailer and forget about you glad iv got your money. i want to be the guy who can drop in for a coffee and ring you up when im close and go for a drive"
it was that kind of feeling we got from glenn that actually put a smile on our face, and then the camper itself was exceptional
id be interested to hear OM&M if there is anything you might change?alter?add?fix?rethink?forget about? go elsewhere? about the trailer, and probably the way it has held up, youve had it for a little while and by the sounds of it done a few trips with the camper, were in the market for the full off road version also and curious as to how its held up and anything thats gone wrong or you might change?
thanks for the replys guys :)
meg and dean

Hi Meg & Dean,
Thr trailer has held up really
well, had absoloutely no problems with trailer or tent. We have made a few additions since we purchased ours, we've had Glenn & Trish add the stone gaurd & tool box on the draw bar, I installed a battery & wiring into ours. I put the battery inside trailer, I covered up all the plastic hose-work ,that is in the trailer, with some ply & I sat the AGM battery on top of that. The only other things that I have done is I layed some carpet down in the back of the trailer, to stop our food boxes from sliding around on the bare steel. I have also installed some brackets on the ceiling in the back of the trailer to hold our picnic
table, this way we can get to the food boxes on the road without pulling everything out first.
Any other questions, just ask.
OM&M.
