Hi
bought a camper trailer from
Sydney recently. It had a import tent on it, trouble with it is it leaks like there is no tommorow, we are returning it.
I now have the issue of replacing it, any ideas on what I can use,
The tent section has to open out to the right ( drivers side), as my hubby has done a bang up job of putting Solar panels on the trailer. and it opens to the left.
I do not want anything chinese made. I did look at the oztrail ones they are made in China but are better canvas then the one I had purchased, they open out the opposite way.
I am not nameing and shaming the one I had purchased. I had read about them in a 4wd mag with good review so surprised it leaked as it did.
Please help I want to get out and
camp more ASAP!
Thank you in advance.
PS proud of my hubbys efforts in installing solar, it is bloody sensational, and made the camping so much easier, no running out of power

The truth is that not all Chinese stuff is junk eg Fujitsu Air Conditioners are made in China, in their own factory with their own management and quality control. They are considered to be the best on the market.
I've used Primus Australia's Camper Tops for a number of jobs I've done for customers and for two of our own (for our personal use) Camper Trailers. Sure, they're made in China, but they are bloody good quality and modestly priced.
No Canvas top will be waterproof from day one. They all need three to five serious soakings in the rain to tighten up the stitching and make them waterproof. Don't think giving them a hosing down will do it. They need to get properly soaked.
Hope this helps.
Jim.
