Camper trailer advise

The only advice I would give is make sure you have a 2 tonne rated axle, this will give you larger bearings and you won't break that stub axle, I would have the same wheels as the car as well.

Cheers Steve.

If it is as tough as they claim, it seems plenty of trailer and kit for the money (I ran over the list on their site). My guess is following the first bush trip there would be quite a few small issues to remedy - many makers have little actual bush experience on issues like suspension reliability, dust ingress and keeping stones off things that matter. 2 to 3 weeks is a very short lead time - do you know of any other Armadillo owners you could get some advice from ?

Hi Jason, its a difficult choice. If time permits & you can get to one of the larger Camping/leisure shows, I suggest you do that & compare as many as possible in your range. Having said that, & doing it myself, I then bought a decent leaf sprung, unshocked,
unbraked 7 by 4 offroad trailer, bolted on a 9ft Chinese Oztrail
tent, built my own kitchen, added wheels to match my Jackaroo.
Registered, insured & ready to go & got change back out of $5k.A
similarly equipped package was going to cost me near $10k.
A 14k outback trip followed (Tanami, GRR etc) & everything worked perfectly.
I would look more closely at construction details & build quality
than at the toys & gizmos on offer, there are heaps out there &
all have their followers. Good luck.....oldbaz.

As Oldbaz said , matching wheels and tyres are good , but also try to match track width of the trailer with the track width of the tow vehicle .

jjt98, try tambo trailers, very basic, plenty of extras u can add on as u save the dollars , and tough, worth a look. I might be biased but i think they r a great trailer.

cheers,

Lance
