Liberty Camper Trailers

as I recall they are the Made in China campers... but I can't find the reference that makes me think that.

Of course I can't see what difference that would make wrt the trip proposed.

If you click on there photo gallery you can see a lot of pretty pics of the tent and annex. Just none of suspension, hitches, the types of kitchens or basically any thing useful.

Goodaye All, They are made in China and are a bolt together design. I have one and haven't had any problems but I do carry a few spare bolts with me just in case. It would also pay the seal loosen off the sides and install some dust sealing as they don't have any ex factory.

Short answer........NO

It should do the job just fine,just don't overload it.Only seen 2 camper trailers on back of the racq truck when we where up there.They so called top of range campers,couldn't be fix up there had to put on a barge back too Cairns.

You can get a glimpse of a leaf spring in one of the photo's but it doesn't appear to have any kitchen.

Tell your SIL (or her hubby) to check the springs, saddle plates and U bolts and if in doubt upgrade them to 12mm or 16mm plates and heavy u bolts. Use either nylex lock nuts or dual nuts to lock the u bolts. You will know why when you hit the corrugations on the development road. Check tightness every day before you start and it should be fine.

Hi Borgy,
I bought 1 a couple of years ago, the "on-road" version, trailers are locally made (were then) and the canvas was imported. The "off-road was a shallower walled trailer with the same canvas top. Kitchens etc weren't available, I made my own slide out one. They don't/didn't offer any extras at all, different hitches, whell packages, etc.

The off-road had double eye leaf springs and the on-road had slipper springs. The off-road appeared to have a heavier chassis and suspension but I can't remember the sizes.

If they are still there, the alleged head office was at Reynella opposite the bus interchange, you could have a look at them there, it is where I purchased mine.

I have had no problems with mine but I don't think it would handle anything too rough without something happening to it. I/we bought it due to the budget cost - just over 5K for 12' tent.

G'day everyone

Thanks for all the replies, well Littleborgy and myself went and checked out the liberty campertrailers at Camperagents on Pt Wakefield road here in Adelaide today and they actually offer 2 versions in both the offroad and onroad models, one they call a deluxe model which is a locally built trailer with the Chinese top , and the other is a cheap version with a Chinese built bolt together trailer which im afraid i wouldn't even consider buying (apologies to all that already have one) the deluxe model appeared not to bad , sounds like they have come a long way since Steve bought his, unless they now use a different builder....personally i think for the price i would rather buy a secondhand known brand name one, but if i couldn't find one then i would prob buy a liberty , but would totally strip it down and reweld everything before i took it on any rough tracks....

Cheers.....Borgy

We came across one of these Liberty Campers on the Strez during the gathering. The stub axle had just sheared clean off. There was nothing nasty that they had hit. Camper was only 5 days old. Had just had it shipped up to Sydney and this was they're first trip. They were not very happy. Don't know how they got on.

i think that in this instance that the price would be a good indicator...just way too cheap, for what they claim

same as a couple of others who advertise regualrly in saturdays Adelaide Advertiser
