As I mentioned last week we purchased a 1996 Ultimate Camper. We picked it up yesterday and registered it today. We have had a chance to set it up and we are very happy with it. For those that asked, it is number 9.
On a side note, we came across a
Kimberley Kamper after we did the deal on the Ultimate. Originally we wanted the
Kimberley so my wife made an offer on it. It is the Mariner model with a boat included. The offer was accepted so we now own two campers.
The thought was we would look at selling the Ultimate and keep the
Kimberley. Problem now is we are both leaning towards liking the Ultimate more than the
Kimberley. We are going to try them both before our trip in June to see which one we like better.
Cheers,
Topend.

Thanks for your reply Top End,
We recently purchased a second hand ultimate and took it away at
easter. It is a big change for our family (two girls 12 & 14) after tenting for the last five years.
Last weekend we went to the camping show at rosehill and made further comparisons of camper trailers and we walked away happy with our choice for our family.
The good points for us was that the trailer can sleep the four of us comfortably for 1 night stays with minimum setup effort, the trailer has a small footprint for confined campsites (and can be hung over bollards - which we had to do in Wadbilliga NP) and we have an outside cooking setup already (from tenting). We will have to get used to difficult access at lunchtime, 3 way fridge (although we have an engel in 4WD) and meeting another vehicle on 1 lane tracks!
We will be taking the ultimate to the
Kimberley in July...

We are going to the Kimberleys in June, our second time there. The highlight of our last Kimberleys trip was
Cape Leveque so we will be spending my 40th birthday there this time.
