Folks, we are doing some research into what is the best camper to do the kimberleys and in the process have become totally confused with all the sellers hype, having said that we like the "complete
campsite nomad extreme". does anyone have any experience with this brand good or bad. Thanks....Wayne

Hi Wayne,
While I have a Camprite camper, not sure if this is the one you are referring to. Haven't heard it refered to before as the "complete
campsite nomad extreme".
Anyway, drop me a line if you like, but I will be away for
Easter in my Camprite!
Cheers
Captain

All the stuff I have on the Complete
Campsite looks real good but if they are across the road it would be appreciated if you could
check them out. In particular are they
well built, strong and how you reckon they would stack up to travelling the
canning stock route which is corragated and rough as guts and manages to wreck most things that go up there.
Thanks and cheers
Thomo

Sorry can't help you with that one, but next week we are picking up a new Adventure offroad camper trailer.
Great kitchen and storage space and at the right height.
cheers

Rolande,
Great link, there were some points there that I would have never thought of.

If you're going to the Kimberleys, why wouldn't you buy a
Kimberley Kamper?
Just kidding. We do have a KK and we think it's the duck's guts. We got the marine pack, so we can carry a 10' dinghy and a small outboard. We can carry a reasonable amount of gear on the roof rack, under the boat. The KK is as tough as nails - the Kimberleys won't break it. Everything is laid out
well. It has a hard floor, which is the roof of the camper when it's packed away. You can get the wheels on it to match those of the towing vehicle etc etc...
Look up their website
Kimberley Kampers
cheers,
away

We left
Brisbane 12 months ago and have now done over 25000km with our old Toyota and Camprite in tow mostly on dirt tracks. The trailer has literally done everything we have asked of her and has not missed a beat. We have spent most of this time in NP through SA and NT as
well as a trip to Gove.
The kitchen is basic but works. The bed is more then comfortable and space inside is very decieving. There is plenty, most people say how surprised they are given the unit looks and is so compact.
We have two boys 5 & 6, have spent weeks in the rain, dust and dirt and would not swap the camprite for anything. A bit of dust in now getting in the front seal, but given the amount of dust we have travelled through it is hardly worth talking about and it doesn't effect any of the bedding.
Our only problem is the gross weight, we are right on the limit with what we currently carry and want to put an extra watertank on which will push us over. The new Camprites have a higher gross weight than ours which is a 2002 model. Maybe we will have to invest in one. They look very flash!
Good luck with the decision and Kimberleys. We may see you there.

Wayne, we owned a complete
campsite camper for a couple of years, took it across the ABH from
Coober Pedy &
home across the Simpson plus heaps of
corner country trips, never missed a beat & a fellow club member still has it all be it on a new, redesigned trailer after he flopped it on it's side, his fault not the trailers.
They should be at the super show at Rosehill when it comes around.

Hi wayne, we bought the Nomad Extreme toward the end of last year. After looking around at all other brands it soon became clear that they are one of the leading brands out there, especially the quality of the canvas and screens and the workmanship. Very happy with it.
John.
