We have a Lifestyle 360. We bought it in 2007 and it was the top of their range at the time.

What we liked about the Lifestyle camper trailers is the build quality. Many of the other makes of trailer that we looked at appeared to be knocked up in someone's backyard or they were made of poor quality materials.

So far, the 360 has been fantastic. The only problems that we've had are to do with the water system. The hand-pump taps failed twice and were replaced with no questions asked. We've since fitted an electric pump and taps. The other problem is that they plumb the water system with clear hose. This lets the light in and algae grows in the pipes. I replaced all of the hoses with food grade opaque hose.

The only other concern with the Lifestyle trailers is that they can be quite heavy (for a trailer). A lot of this comes down to the amount of stuff we take with us but even empty, they are a little on the heavy side. I know that they have been working to rectify this.

Looking at their current range, I'm not real fussed with their desire to put gas struts on everything. Last time I looked they even had struts on the door to the kitchen box.

Overall though, an excellent trailer that suits us perfectly.

Paul, thanks for that reply, I agree that the workmanship is excellent, the extra space at the end of the bed makes it so much easier to get in and out of the bed. I was told the weight of the "Icon" model we were looking at was 850kgs. which isn't too bad compared to some of the higher end comparable other brands we looked at, there were many that weighed in around 1.5T. The drawbar length is around 4 metres compared to some at 5 to 6 metres, the sealing was good quality, it comes with off road hitch, Porta-Potti and fridge. They have a tropical roof and it was the coolest we had been in all day, overall a well thought out camper, BTW Paul how's the suspension stood up off-road, it looks well made, Regards Frank.
