I'm 99.9% sure it is spirit camper trailer. A member of this site, "Brew 34.5" has one and looked pretty good from what I saw of it.

Hey Straps, yep the one at PT Clinton is a Spirit. Best value for $ we found on the market. Owned by a few of the members in our club and all have nothing but praise for them. Ours is about 12 months old now and love it. They do not have a website so thats why you wouldn't have found it lol. I am In Para Hills if you want to come and check ours out.

Thanks all,
I am unable to find any pics of Spirit Campersora website.
Has any members got pics in their profiles and do you think that Spirit Campers will be at the Mid-Year Campng Show at the Adelaide Showgrounds on 2 / 3 August..???

Cheers

Thanks again for the prompt responses.

I ended up finding the number for Spirit at Pt Clinton.
The guy was very helpful and gave some good advice. Still doesn't help with the fact I have almost no idea what to get for my $5000 - $10000 budget. I try to research things well but many of the specs are beyond what I understand (ie what is better than what)!?!?

I will keep reading the archives and get along to the mid-year camping show at Adelaide Showgrounds to have a look and chat with many manufacturers.

If anyone can offer some advice for a novice, with a Holden Frontera living at Yulara / Ayers Rock for the next 12 months looking for a camper trailer, I would very much appreciate your help.

I might even try and look at a couple of second hand trailers and chat to a few 'experienced' owners..

Cheers

Straps, how long is a piece of string mate, there are so many questions unanswered here...what is the tow vehicle, where are you planning to go, do you want soft or hard top, suspension etc. etc.
About 12 months ago I started the process and researched everything that was available on the market, went to all the trade shows, purchased all the camper trailer magazines and the "The camper Trailer Book" written by Bob Eustace and the list goes on. For what it is worth and in my judgement, if you come to the conclusion a soft top is the go then "The Complete Campsite" is the best value for money and a very good Company to deal with. If on the other hand you want a hard top my research was, No 1 in features, value for money and excellent reports is the Pioneer Onyx 4x4 and No 2 was the Campermatic XTC (and to all the Kimberly fanatics out there... there are others just as good for less money that also hold their resale value). Well, at the end of the day I purchased a used Campomatic XTC.

Don't envy your task and trust this add some value to the debate

Straps,

As Brew has mentioned, I own a Spirit Camper. There are a couple of pics in my profile you can view.

I was extremely fortunate in that I bought mine second hand, from the Spirit display at one of the 4WD shows. It was a "customised build" by the original owner who wanted it to travel to the top end, but sold it about "12 months new" to obtain cash flow for his business. It has an extended draw bar, boat rack, lockable front and side storage bins and a bunch of other options I don't even remember that are not standard.

If you are in no particular hurry, wait until the 4WD & Camping Show, held in Adelaide during August each year. The new "home" for the show is at the Morphettville Race Course. (Now known as Alan Scott Park)

You will see all the major brands on display, including the Spirit range, which has a very good reputation for a quality product. This is an ideal place to view all the different styles and brands and compare "bang for buck".

get a hard floor camper that takes no setting up. Soft floor campers are a pita and take a damn long time to setup and worse to take down and pack. Look for something like a Cub Camper which just opens up and is useable in 1 minute. Soft floor campers are the pits.
