To all Vic people,
I am after what everyone has as a trailer setup ? Where they got it from and how much it cost ? And if it is good quality ?

See I'm after a off road camper trailer for under $10k and there is so many manufactures in Vic now it is getting hard to see all of them and to tell them all apart....

Also if anyone is selling there camper trailer let me know... post some details.

Thanks
Matt

look for Dingo campers in Dandenong - good value for money - the guy is not a salesmans bootlace, but try to deal with his wife - she has a better personality - they are off Cheltenham Road - do off road, light off road as well as on road - pretty well made, easy to erect and put down etc - made of good quality materials - we have taken ours all over the place including Fraser Island - did not miss a beat

I have a Simon Heard Adventurer off-road.Taken it all through central Australia and have not destroyed it yet.Save money and fit your own water tank,battery setup etc and enjoy.

I'm paying $7000 for mine.

16ft Tent, awning and 2 side walls, Patrol wheels and tyres.

12v battery system.

I'm going to fit my own watertanks, and kitchen etc, just thought I would add the 12v while it was there, especially for the price.

Another mate has an Adventurer (he put me onto Simon in the first place) he has also been everywhere, and no probs at all.

Tambo Campers are great. Very strong for off-road, great design with lots of space. I found them thru a friends recommendation.
I am really happy.No problems at all. I have done lots of hard miles and corrugations with it. I paid under $6,000 with some good extras.
They also have Simon Heard campers, so you can compare them for yourself.
I found it best to ring them before you go to their factory.
