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,

After my experience with cheaper camper trailers ($12,000), I would recommend that you look at late model campers of a higher quality.

Hi bug

I don't have an idea of the south east trailers on Perry Road Keysborough are like, but if you want a strong trailer have a chat with Keith from Tambo.

I can assure you they are a strong trailer and kind of on that money.

Cheers and good luck.

I assumed that the enquirer would have already checked the "treader" section of this forum. Silly me.

X3 for Tambo

I've had mine for 4 years and couldn't be happier.

Excellent product and price. Great people to deal with.

We had a Dingo camper trailer for about eight years - it went everywhere - the roughest tracks, water crossings etc - you name it - never had a problem - the only problem is the owener of the company (in Dandenong) - he has a customer service problem - it doesn't exist if you see him, but his son and wife are terrific - he does a pretty strong trailer in our opinion, and not overpriced, it doesn't sound like you want to spend too much. Some of the ones available from other dealers have as much stuff as you have at home, and what is the point of going away if you take home with you???
