Buying a new camper trailer

I would be very cautious buying a camper off eBay unless it is a quality second hand unit. I would spend a little extra and get a Tambo www.tambocampers.com.au that range upwards of $6k I think.

A lot depends upon your budget, the age of the children, what sort of camping you want to do, and how long you've got to make your decision. If you have time on your side, the best option is to go to a caravan and camping show. These are well supported by the camper trailer manufactures and provide an ideal basis for comparison - you'll go crazy with the choice!

Another option is to have a look at the Campertrailer Australia magazine, and www.campertrailers.org where there a pics of folks' rigs, some with descriptions. Also if you are out and about, take a wander through caravan parks and look at what is around and being used.

Good luck - it's a good problem to have.

PS: when looking for a camper, look at the price, bu also what you get for your money... Quality counts, and this is definately something you need to think about, because most of the destinations we aussies take our campers on, they need to be strong.... eg-cape york, simpson desert.... Hope that helps you... GOOD LUCK.

With 5 Kids you will need a camper with an extra large family area or one with an additional room added on. The stock camper will not have enough room for you all.

Prices start from around $7000 for a no frills version up to around $14000 for a well optioned up Camper. You can pay a lot more for the top of the range with all the bells and whistles.

The Cameron Camper has a large family area as I am sure do many of the others.
Just be careful if buying sight unseen (e-bay) the trailer you are looking at has the large fold out area.

Note the length of the Fold out Tent from the side of the Trailer. There is a king size bed on top of the trailer but the main thing is the additional floor space
