Well finally got the camper. I was originally looking at a Tvan (thanks for the advice Grizzly Adams:)) but due to the financial situation I have gone with a Pioneer Offroad camper.
Now I originally ordered a Pioneer Argyle std, but due to a mis-communcation at the factory, I ended up with an Argyle SE with extra options too boot.
The Argyle SE has the Gullwing box for 1 or 2 fridges or fridge and generator.
a couple of the extra options were a second water tank and a 3 burner stove instead of 2, also 16" wheels with 265x75 tyres instead of 15" with 31-10.5R 15
:D:D:D:D
pics are from Saturday after I picked it up, it was bucketing down at the time.

They are similar, cost a bit less and lighter, but appear to be very well made.
This one tows very well behind the Disco on the bitumen so far, I hope it tows as well off road, but every indication is it will. The suspension is a Gaffa (independent).
I need to wet and dry the canvas so I will get it on the lawn this weekend if the weather is fine enough and get a couple more photos opened up.

Nice camper :BigThumb:
Quite a score with those extra options, did you have to pay for them on top of what you were expected to pay or did they just let you have 'em? :angel:
Either way sounds like a very nice setup, can't wait to see the photo's of when she's fully setup and I'd be interested to hear how she goes when you take her offroad :)
Congrats, you won't look back now :cool:

Well done :D
If the suspension is independent it will be a breeze to tow on and off road.

That would be good, but I couldn't afford the boat loader and rack option.
I do have a Kayak now though:D

We came to an agreement, I paid a small amount extra, and they would wear the rest:cool: It worked out well as this was the model I would of really liked but opted for the lesser one due to the cost:D

Phil,
Very nice, I had a look at one of those at a show recently.
What was the advice on a T Van?
Cheers

Franz, the advice was they are a top unit, which they are. I was really keen to get one and put an offer on one, but in the end decided I didn't want to pay that much.
Andrew, Not sure where the first camp will be. I am waiting until after school holidays now and am thinking Hoffman Mill, Lane Poole or Dryandra. somewhere close and probably just an overnite the first time.
We go camping all the time, so I know it will be soon.
