Gday Jason
We bought a 'no-name' camper trailer in the
Newcastle (NSW) area (new) about 5 years ago,(oops, just remembered, 2007). It was described as an 'off road' model, and me, having little experience as far as campers go, at the time, just checked out the build quality of the trailer (I am a metalworker).
It had an Oztrail 9 tent fitted to it.
Result, bloody brilliant! It would go anywhere and never leaked. Plenty of room for what we required. Click on my profile, I think there is a
pic there.
Cost $6300 including 'sunroom' (full annex).
We had a look in the same camper trailer yard a little while ago, and they were even cheaper!
It was basic ( I built the kitchen), but the trailer and tent were great. 7 leaf spring pack
suspension with greasable shackles, gas bottle and jerry can fixtures,spare wheel, all the basics actually.The wheels were used, and one was buckled, so watch for that.
When we decided to upgrade to an A'van, our next door neighbour bought our camper, 'no argument about the price, just show me how to put it up!'
I think the trailer name was something like Tymyler .. that doesn't look right, can
check next door if you need the exact company name.
No need for brakes on this camper, so it was under the 750kg limit, and the Rav would have no probs in general, (I recommend brakes though, even if not legally req'd).
Keep looking, they are out there.
Cheers, Dave
