We are in the process of purchasing an Ultimate Odyssey camper trailer and would like to know if there are any other owners of this brand of camper on the Mornington Peninsula. If so we'd love to hear your
views. Penny & Alex

Sorry I can't answer your question directly Penny and Alex......
However, I would just say that there are a few owners in and around
Melbourne. If you find yourself over here in SA at some stage, I hope we can meet up and compare notes. We've had our Ultimate (number 56) since Feb 1999 and have been all over the place with it (but not to Tassie or WA yet......).
Great choice of camper trailer.......
Cheers
Roachie

Mate of
mine has one, been everywhere in it, including a west/east crossing (including Simpson). He's rapt. Good unit. (I would say more practical than my Tvan)

We have an Ultimate as
well as three other members in our 4wd club so even if we cant meet up in person I am sure could answer most questions.
Love the Ultimate whether tis 1nt away or 2 weeks as very easy to tow and very easy to set up and take down.
(and it doesnt look like a T-van garbage compactor !!! (joke, joke)

Great to hear from you - thanks for your tips because it just cements our already formulated opinion that this rig is the tops.
Where are you?? We're located in Mt Martha on the Peninsula and are keen to meet others who are retired and able to head off for the odd weekend/trip here and there.

Sorry forgot to mention that we are in
Brisbane and unfortunately work full time so dont get away for too many extended trips. Mainly just weekends but did a two week trip from
Brisbane to
Batemans Bay last year via the State Forests which was good fun.
The others in our 4wd club have been out into
the desert with their Ultimate as
well as a fair bit of 4wding.
If you get an Ultimate just be prepared that everytime you set up you will have people wandering by to ask questions. We keep a plentiful supply of brochures in the drawer to hand out!!!

Hi Penny and Alex,
We spent the weekend in our Ultimate (No10) camping on the Murray at Barmah. We're in
Upwey in the Dandenongs so feel free to link up at any stage.
We love ours.

Alex and Penny,
Look at my number plate and see if you can guess who.
We camped over
Easter with Steve and Glenda, Ray and Lorna, Ken and Lyn and Russell. Russel has an Ultimate. It seemed very good. Go to my profile and send me a MM if you don't have my email address on your pooter already. I can give you Russell's email address. It seems I have misplaced your email address as
well.
We will see you in late July when we pick up our Trakmaster with Steve and Glenda.
