We finally bought as camper!

Your camper should be dust free and most campers the mattress stays on the bed, sounds like a a lot of work for nothing.

If your sticking to bitumen roads then a stone guard is not needed but if you are going on dirt roads then Yes you do need a stone guard on your camper unless you want a broken rear window and stone chips on the vehicle and camper.

A quality camper will not let dust in but as most aren't (quality) then often it will require some sort of cover. In any case when folding up the majority of campers a plastic sheet is needed as a minimum to stop the bedding getting damp when folding up wet canvas particually with the soft floor models.
For majority road use I probably wouldn't worry about a stone deflector, just ensure you have decent mudflaps on the Commodore.

Hi nootsa,

I have seen a bed bag made by Outback camper trailers of Dandenong, Victoria. It is as you describe, it is another way of keeping your bed clean and dry.

What type of camper do you have, that it is not already sealed against rain and water, when closed up ?......That is the No.1 rule.

If you are towing with a Commodore then you have limited roads that you can travel on, but that will not stop you reaching places like Innamincka, Birdsville, the Oodnadatta Track, and most places, in the dry.
You may hade some ground clearance issues, and you may be able to get a lift kit.
That will help.

A stone deflector would be of benefit if you plan to travel those roads as mentioned above.
Just do a search on the net, and you will find answers

Thank you all for your excellent help with your replies. Now I have another question...If I may. Our new camper does not have a ladder? I would like your best thoughts on a bargain 2 or 3 step ladder. Needs to be over 100kg, Im a big boy....
