Buying a Camper Trailer

For many campers the decision over the 'living quarters' poses the greatest quandary in the pre-trip planning. Other than a wide range of trailers,

Cooroy Pat

Rylie: Have you looked at the Pluto camper trailer from Getabout Campers in Sydney? It weighs 565kg and is like a plainer, lighter version of a Jayco. I tow ours with a 2.4L Honda CR-V and it can overtake any caravan on hills, no matter what they're towed by. They are American imports and are easy to erect, well made and strong-looking. We like the bed at each end and extra low towing profile. It even has an external gas outlet for our Weber Baby Q BBQ as well as a smart stainless steel stove inside. There is a heavier, off road version called Saturn. Good luck, Pat. PS Lifestyle RVs is the Brisbane distributor.

"I tow ours with a 2.4L Honda CR-V and it can overtake any caravan on hills, no matter what they're towed by"

Mmmmmmmmm...............I hope I don't get this mob overtaking on a hill if Im coming the other way.

I think it is an ad, at least they said who it was which is good so I know to stay away from that brand.......now what was the brand called again!

Why would you buy a imported van when we make such good ones here in Aus.

There is another fantastic web site that you could sell your thingys on....it's called Ebay, people will buy anything on there even imported stuff.

I supose they don't understand this is a bit more of a 4wd site, but then again if you own a SOFTROADER you need a not so strong or well made camper, so them may find a buyer on EO.
