moving the camper

I have been quoted just over $400 on a car from Melbourne to Brisbane. If anything camper trailer should be cheaper but obviously there could be considerable adjustment up for the distance between Brisbane and your far north destination. Get in touch with government car auctions people and ask them nicely who would they recommend for the job.
Cheers

Brisbane to Melbourne is around $400-425.

Hey Steve.

I don't know how much, but ask them if the trailer has to be empty as most car carriers won't carry cars or trailer with anything in them for insurance reasons.

Cheers Steve.

Ask Autotrans for a quote , they are in Laverton North

When I was hunting around for the new camper, I got a quote for postage from Tambo Campers in Vic, to Cairns in FNQ. It was $1800! I quickly discarded that idea. I ended up sourcing the camper from customline trailers in Brisbane. It cost $400 to send to Cairns, which I thought was great value. If you can get the camper that up that far let me know and I'll give you the name of the transport company

thanks guys
just trying to work out if its viable to tow the van up north and get the camper delivered will have to think it over ???

Going From Melb to far north Qld I reckon would cost $1000+. Big difference when coming back the other way as our mates the truckies are chasing back loads.

Gday,
Just to throw in something to think about....Ring a company who is prepared to do it!
The reason I say this is...try $2000-$3000 from Qld/Nsw to Alice for a camper trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!.........and it gets better...an extra $500 if its got a treg hitch!..because they don't have one on their tow vehicle! I offered to buy them one, but they weren't interested. There are other things like.....if the load infront of yours isnt another trailer or vehicle that fits over the draw bar (or they are not willing to calculate it) and an extra 2m to the price of the load!
I personally (having done this sort of thing a few times) would not guess at a price, ring and ask, If its the wrong time or inconvenient it could cost a shiit load more or less than you may be advised. And no! thats not through back yarders....apparently reputable companies is what you are supposdd to call them.
I cant stress enough!!!! Ring the transport company before you make any decisions.

Cheers

Hi Gob & Denny,
I have been chasing the same sort of thing for my move to Sunshine Coast at the end of the month, not too many places will transport a camper trailer. Found 1 that has quoted $880 from Adelaide to Brisbane (Depot to Depot) dearer than wife's car ($699) Company is Autotrans Express - a division of Toll.
Hope this is of some help. Like others have said coming the other way is cheaper due to back loads.
