Adventure Off Road Tray Back Campers

Hi Laura,
Adventure are a local Adelaide company that have been around for many years now and have a great reputation for building quality stuff.

I'm guessing this is what your F-I-L is looking for:

They are some unique features - the swing down fridge overcomes the access problem (given the height of the vehicle tray), and the bed is same level as the one at home - don't have to climb down off the roof like many of the others. the legs slide into the sides, so are more stable than others.

If it rains......you get wet :-))) But seriously, it has two big lift up side doors which provide good shelter (same as mine) just by opening them.

If I wasn't so tight with the $$$, I was going to buy one, but elected to make my own in the end.

Cheers
phil

I have their DVD which features the trailers and the tray back camper.
They are a well-built unit with features that use the space well. They seem easy to setup with gas strut assistance for the heavier components. The main thing is easy access to storage and kitchen areas, which is ever more important as our knees and back get older.

As far as setting up in the rain goes....The marine-ply underside of the bed base would probably get wet while you pulled it out prior to unfolding it but once you have the bedcase unfolded, the tent protects the bed itself as it is part of that assembly. This is the impression i got from seeing in the video.... anyway, it would be a good question to ask the salesman when your FIL goes to have a look.

If i had the money i would buy an Adventure Trailer myself. The quality of the finish and ruggedness is worth it. IMO
