Because I saw a lot of them in the Outback I have had a good look at them. Heaps of good ideas, I blatantly copied their stoneguard, & well built, the only thing that that concerned me, is that they look way oversprung.

I don't have one but used to live around the corner from the factory in Adelaide and have had many looks at them. They are an excellent unit, well built and some good ideas. They are expensive for a CT and may take a while to set up for overnight stops. You have to weigh up if the dollars are worth it when there are many other excellent CTs around for half the price.

They are extremely quick to put up, second only to the flip over ones.
Four pegs and you're done.

Andrew - are you thinking of the right one? before the 4 pegs go in you have to lower the rear spare wheel holder, pull the bed out from the back, undo the holding bolt, let down the rear bed legs and adjust for height, pull the bed assembly further out, swing it 90 degrees and lock in place, undo the latches, get someone to help you pull the steel base over so the bed is full width, let down the centre bed support leg, undo the fiddly retaining wires so the cross struts engage, pull the tent upright ....... then you can put the 4 pegs in.

We've hired them and they are great to tow and have a great kitchen but they are a harder to put up than other soft floor campers we have hired IMO.
