Odyssey Aust Off Road Camper Vs Kimberley Kamper

Well have just completed a fantastic trek up the Cape and around the Gulf. We took our brand new AORC Odyssey Camper (Signature) and joined two brand new Kimberley Kampers (Platinum).
Firstly i must say that both brands did the job superbly. We slid down some pretty rugged stuff and all came out smiling so there is no dispute that both brands will perform.
Before we bought our Odyssey we procrastinated between buying a Kimberley and did a great deal of prodding and poking but finally decided on the Odyssey.
Well, after 12 weeks of traveling together we are still delighted with our choice.
One of our hesitations about the Odyssey was the lack of back opening when the unit is shut. Which we thought would be a nuisance when needing to access our clothes during a daytime stop but this was never an issue.
One attraction towards the Odyssey was in the storage capacity although we feel now could be even further enhanced with the addition a smaller storage area above the existing one.
A big difference between the two campers was the canvas design. On the Odyssey when setup, the canvas was always taut, as too, was the tropical roof (permanent fly) which was well above the tent roof. Our Kimberley friends were constantly annoyed by the "saggy baggy" appearance of their campers when set-up which could only be remedied by tying the rear end to a fixture.
Another feature we also liked about the Odyssey was the simplicity of the en-suite with the hot and cold water taps directly accessible.
But the ease of set-up and pack up on the Odyssey with the awning attached probably was the deciding factor for us.
What improvements could Odyssey make? Well! The lighting in the kitchen area needs attention. The Kimberley use LED strips which were far superior. And even though the Odyssey has generous storage, a separate smaller storage option would be ideal. We will be changing both these things when we get home.
