Liberty Camper Trailer

Gday pafc,
I dont personally own one but a mate nearly did!
To keep it short we was in Adelaide, had a look at one, ordered one with a few extras and come home....(1500km) He drove down a couple of weeks later to pick it up and ended up haveing a big blue with the agent.
The canvas that was agreed on was not right ( he took a sample with him) the wheels werent right. The draw bar was too short. He could see daylight through the seams and their attitude was... well you drove this far to get it, you have to buy it know! He didnt, he drove back home!
What Im saying is be careful! Make sure its what you want.

Cheers

Alex,

Had a look at their Web site and the Camper looks to be OK.

One thing I couldn't pick up from the photo's or see reference to in the features list is an off road coupling for the off road camper. Just make sure you can option up to one.

Another thing you may like to check is whether the base board can open up sideways to gain access to the trailer interior before the tent is erected. This makes it easier to load/unload your camping gear without having to do so from the more restricted tailgate access.

The price sounds OK but check a couple of other brands just to compare features and prices.

Assume you live in the southern area?

If you want a good comparison, have a look at the Spirit Camper Trailer.
The one downside is that they are based on the York Peninsula at Pt. Clinton.

A couple of us on ExplorOz own one and they are also very good value.

It's partly get what you pay for and partly how much stuff do you want to pay for. I got a cavalier which is solid enough trailer except where they didnt weld all along the seams on the guards and I had to do it again. The paint falls off. The tent is of good heavy quality real canvas and cant fault it and thats about it. You can pay for all sorts of extra stuff but all I want is a good bed (I picked up a good inner spring mattress along the way) and shelter. I firmly believe in having a large tarp that will go right over the lot to keep the canvas dry and cool. One that will serve also as verandha.

All the extra stuff you can decide on along the way. It dont come any cheaper by getting it on day one.

Oh yeah our floor is plain waterproof heavy duty and I never felt the need for a solid floor. Nylex boxes for all the stuff and a couple of tables is KISS but a roll out frame to carry them would be nice. Another project!

Ours came second hand from someone who thought it all too hard so I saved some money too.

We got about fifty megameters of travel so far.

At that price, a Camel is worth a comparison. They are a strong and well made camper, 10" tent and all the canvas work is done onsite.
On-road and off-road models, and I can vouch that there are no gaps in the seams. Here's their web site fwiw.

Hi there Alex, Yes we have one and so does Patnav (another user on here). Well I can agree with Hairy the bloke is an a##whole and I did have some major issues with the first one I bought, sent it back got a new series and so far so good. Improved it 95% over the first one I got. Tows very well, the paint on the trailer is a bit thin but have seen dearer ones with the same and is not a major issue. The canvas yes claims to be 14oz is it or not ?? I wouldnt have a clue but feels fairly thick. Very basic in terms of any extras, kitchen etc etc but like anything you want that you pay more. How is it off road well time will tell. Would I take it to the cape well I wouldnt take my car up there I would hire one and screw that up before I stuffed either my car or camper. Cant complain about the camper in general. Takes about 10 mins to set up maybe a tad more. The awning if using it will take about another 10. We also got the annexe with it as well. Would I buy another one yes, from him no he's a pric#. he's lucky I didnt run my hilux and camper through he's plate glass window. Would I have done it if he didnt come good ,you betch I would have had two mates lined up to come with me.Regards Steve

Hi all there is a bloke near Glenmore Park that builds the liberty campers. We had a good look around at all sorts of campers. HIS WERE CRAP!! they weren't even worth the cheap prices that he was asking. Build quality (if you call it that) was awful and he had his young bloke (about 15) and 4 of his mates building the trailers.
I couldn't get back in the car quick enough.
Ended up going for a Central Coast Canvas camper and had the trailer built by central coast trailers to my specs.
It pays to shop around.

For around that price range ( I think) there is a company in Adelaide called Sars Major, they make a similar camper trailer and if they are anything like their wags the quality is excellent

Why not try Sar Major at Edwardstown for a no frills great quality camper (trailer leaves a bit to be desired finish wise but is stil strong.) aussie made in the factory you visit.

Hi Alex,
I bought a Liberty 12 months ago, $5500 for the 12 foot + walls for the annexe. Made my own kitchen (slide out) fitted tool box, Battery and water tank, and storage drawer beside kitchen full height and length of trailer. I got the on-road as at the time I didn't have a 4x4, The wife & I are very happy with it for the price, but changed the mattress for a normal Queen inner spring. Heaps better than "tenting it" Main difference between the on & off road is the wall height of the trailer (same Canvas on top) 2 eye springs instead of slipper on the on-road.
