URGENT - 2nd hand camper

Thanks for the offer. We may as well make the best of a bad situation and get into a hard floor earlier than planned.

Cheers Deanna.
Yeah looked through the trader and other forums. Just haven't found one that we would like within our price range.

Thanks Nick. It was down near Arthur River/Couta Rocks.
Bolting on a new top is possible, but really gotta work out the money, as it has been written off. Is it worth the expense and time?? It may be, we are trying to get all options covered and see if the insurance will sell it back.

A quick search of the trader reveals
KK Platinum 2004 $34000 0417-339-122 (Burnie)
Ultimate $36500 63271886 (Launceston)
Jayco flite $7000 0409-131-372 (Cremourne)
Jayco finch $7990 6273 4666 (Hobart dealer)

Never much in the way of choice down here, not the weapon of choice in cooler climates I suspect.
cheers

Austastar. I've seen those ones. The KK would be ideal if he'd give me a 50% discount :-)
If it was closer to home the options would be better. We are looking around Melbourne, so we can get off the boat and get back to the holiday.

It's all tough. We could cut our losses and head home, and look around for longer. Or spend $10k - $15k and carry on for a bit.

Bushranger have one that is pretty good value at around $18k new.SEE HERE

Thanks Gronk.
I've seen the Bushranger on eBay.
I've heard some campomatics are made in China. Not sure what that says about the steel....
Pioneer campers are made in my home town (Perth) and some second hand fetch around $15k or lower
Thanks again. Gives me more names to play with.

TassieD. I didn't know there was anyone in Tassie making them. Thanks for that. Had a look at the website and still thinking hard floor would be nice. I'll get in touch with them and see what they say. Cheers

Thanks Kevin. I'll look into that. Appears to be a few on there.

G'day Kim,
I spoke with Al last night. He does have a couple a fraction out of my price range. He also has a brand new Bushranger. We are trying to find a few more 'reviews' on that make. I will keep in touch with him though. It sounds like he may stumble across something

I inspected a new Bushranger some time ago & was very impressed with it considering the price, which was around $16000.00 then.

I was talking to Al the other day on an unrelated matter, which gave me the chance to look at the Pioneer range. They appear to be very good trailers, but once you add the extras on, things start to get a bit expensive.

The Goldstream Crown was also impressive, and the only camper I’ve come across with air conditioning and television as an option. The quoted price was $33,000 excluding the outside shower.

According to Al, the Bush Ranger trailer is made in Officer, which is in the SE of melbourne. I have'nt seen it, so I can't make any recommendation.

If I can help you get back on your feet again in anyway, just give me a call on 97821701.

Regards

Kim
