Roswal slideon camper

Hi Grace,
I've just checked out their website but alas they didn't have any pics of a slideon with a tray or a price for that matter. Don't know what they are asking but I know that my dream would be to have a Travelander, have you looked at those?

Hi Grace,

I just had a look at the site and their units GREAT. I couldn't see anything for a flat tray model though. I'd hate to see the price of the tub tray slide-ins although they are very comfortable looking units and well equipped.

You can get all the specs from a downloaded PDF at this Toyota Hilux Specs site. It lists the Gross vehicle Mass as 2780kgs and rear axle limit of 1750kgs. It shows a Kerb weight of 1530kgs or thereabouts. A bit hard to assess what’s appropriate without weights of the actual unit you're looking at.

You should always aim to be well below your GVM otherwise your rear may sag and drag. If you're getting close to the GVM, you may be wise to consider a suspension upgrade which will allow you a greater GVM.


Good Luck with it all. Mick

Puma RV have got 3 floor plans for slide ons

http://pumarv.com.au/

I bought a 28.5ft 5th wheeler from them a few months ago (picked it up 4 weeks ago & still not used it yet) and I have seen their slide ons, they look well fitted out and larger inside than out (Tardists).
They (Ann-Marie and Warrick) do both the flat tray and the tub models.
They are located in Wyong NSW (central coast nr Gosford) I noticed the first slide on link does not open the pics when you click on the floor plan but the other 2 do.
Good for a comparison - say G'day from me if you contact them!
Cheers Nigel

Hi Grace,
I haven't seen the Roswal slideon's in the flesh, my comment would be to carefully research the market and especially watch the weight. There are plenty of well-known brands of slideon's on market that are very heavy and when fully laden (water, food etc) may even exceed your GVM.

On their website they look as if they would'nt travel too well off-road - hard to tell without seeing one in the flesh and getting more details.

I find it a bit strange that the slideon's are not required to have a compliance plate - if they were then many people may have avoided vehicle problems.

Good luck with your deliberations.

Cheers, Geoff
