i believe it was called "australian camper trailer review", vlad would know for sure.

this morning i ordered a castawaycampers gal offroad camper trailer with independant suspension, brakes, 9ft tent, 8ft annexx, deluxe s/s kitchen, ensuite etc etc etc for pickup in march.

thats why i thought this would be a good subject for a forum style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Sounds like a nice camper, might have to look them up style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[incisor]

not exactly what i wanted but i got a deal i couldnt go past, saved a mint on what i had been able to find elsewhere... i got a tour thru the joint and they do quite a nice job ....

i really liked the fact the kitchen swings out without unpacking anything, great for rest areas and coffee!

my bother in law has one and he loves it... so it will do me style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[incisor]

It seems pretty much the same as ours only diff is the walk in section of ours.

Have a great time with your camper they are better than a tent when you have more than one person involved IMHO. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

This is what makes our camper differant to others , the walk in section it makes our camper 9' wide instead of the normal 7' much more room the dimentions are;
9'x 16' living/bed area and 8'x 16' annex area.

Total living space is 17'x16' or 5.6
mtr x 6mtr
So bigger than the average 7x4 camper trailer.

Great idea Inc.

I am sure many of members either have or want one of these trailers.

I have a Tambo Camper... made here in Vic.

from what i have seen they dont seem to have set models. you tell them what you would like and they work it out from that.

that display model trailer was pretty close to what i wanted apart from the extended drawbar, toolbox and stone guard.

plus the display model had a third room, but we only wanted a shower/ensuite area as there is only two of us these days, so they threw one up so i see what it looked like.

the unit i got was retailing for about $13.5k

I am really pleased with the deal i got and so far can not recommend them enough as they actualy listened to what i thought my needs were, most of the other clowns i spoke to were to busy telling me what i wanted to listen to what i had to say.

[DEFENDERZOOK]

that does sound like a good price.
most of the others ive seen are aprox. $4000 to $7000 more.
i cant afford one for now so im just doing as much research as i can
till the right day comes along and i win the lotto.

Hi Guys,
Back in October I did a trip with the family through Broken hill to Camerons Corner in this rig, the old trusty 77 RR and a hired Deluxe Camper. The camper when set up offered two queen size beds up top and room 3.2mx3.5m plus an annex. Great to tow and cheap to hire over 4 weeks at around $ 33 a night. If you only did this kind of thing once a year, its a worth a serious thought. (and no I have nothing to do with this mob except being a happy customer.. lol) Took about 20 mins to set up, and 16 mins to fully pack down with the help of SWMBO.

Its got a great amount of storage underneath, and a seperate ss kitchen. The kitchen is the only thing we debated over unlike some of the fancy pull out units you see. But we found it great to just plonk under a tree if we wished away from the camper as well.

That Tambo that Bytemrk showed, is also another nice unit and looks good value for money. A mate of mine just finished towing his all around Australia and he is very happy with it.

You are right Rob, The kitchen in these things is a BIG decision. Some like the fancy jobs with all the bells and whistles - Me ... I'd rather save the $$$$$$ and spend it on things other than a kitchen! Luckily SWMBO is on my side with this one..... cause I do all the cooking when we camp - the kids do all the washing up .... so she gets a break - I can make a mess - then drink beer while the kids clean up :twisted: :twisted: .......Ain't life grand...

Anyway back to Kitchens...While it might be great to have the convienience of the big slideout job- in many Campers they take half the space.. so we elected for just a basic sheft on the tailgate. Works fine for us. Gas suts on the outside and I use a big Colman 3 burner stove - either sits on the tailgate shelf - or I carry a tressle so can setup where ever we want that way.... like you I like the option to do what seems right for the particular site...
