Hi all,
I am currently very close to purchasing a new camper trailer. I have stumbled upon the Challenge camper trailers here in
Adelaide and was quite impressed with the value for money. They seem to be a very strong and
well made trailer for a tangable price tag. I am just wondering if anyone has handson experience with these trailers or any advice to or fro?
Cheers
Chris

Last year I researched camper trailers in
Adelaide. Wanted to have something to go anywhere, three months each year for last year and the next few (as we escape Scottish winters). We decided it was between Adventure and Heaslip. Adventure is run by Frank, just west of South Road about 2k south of where the
glenelg tram crosses. Heaslip is run by Rob and Judy Heaslip, off Wakefield, up level with RAAF Edinburgh. Sorry I can't be more precise about adresses...I just don't have the details here. They're both on the internet. They're both outback enthusiasts, and build camper trailers because that was how they first got what they wanted. Listen to what they say about structural robustness and the need to carry the towing arm right back to the front spring hanger. I prefered the Adventure as an almost military bit of kit. Verna prefered the Heaslip because it had a clear woman's hand in some aspects of the design. In the end we bought Heaslip on the basis of availability. Went 12000k last Dec to Feb, including up to The Corner just before the drought broke.
Good luckJoey&Verna
