I have mates with both Sourthern Cross and the Oztrail, one each and i'm buggered if i can tell them apart for quality and strength, just thought i'd through a 3rd choice, you could buy more beer with the savings, LOL ;-))

PE floor v PVC tub floor Baz. But I've had a 10plus tourer for a while and she's a beaut.

I say buy Australian - SC is made in Bayswater Vic and if ever you need repairs the factory is here in Australia. Difficult for them to compete with overseas workers who work for $1 an hour though - no chance of them ripping us off - just a genuine Aussie company making a quid!

Mick as far as i'm aware Oztrail is australian and is made in NT and WA by Whittaker & sons

I just can't see how a tent 3x3 could be worth $2000, i don't want to know how much the larger ones are, anyway, only a suggestion for him to think over and look into, he doesn't have to choose one, if he feels that the others are better then buy them to each his own i say.

Redback, "I just can't see how a tent 3x3 could be worth $2000" try looking at campertrailers they go up to $50k & your still under canvas for that price.

I think there's a little bit more work and canvas that goes into a camper top, but you are right in that some campers are way over priced for what you get, our camper is alot bigger than 3x3 i can tell ya, but the trailer was the dearer not the canvas, we have bought canvas and made swags and a box trailer top of 7x5 and 5' high and it was from good quality canvas also have done alterations to our camper (the other half is a seamstress) so we know canvas and other materials.

Rox i just did a search of Southern X to get a price on their camper tops they are $6500 +, most camper manufacturers are between $3000 to $5000 and some like Primus (overseas company) are $1600 6x4 and $2500 7x4 for a basic top.

I will be doing a bike camper very soon making it ourselves i have done some pricing and i think we can do it for around $2800 that includes the extras you need bolts screws poles etc.
