    Question Pod Trailer Camper

    In my endless yet unproductive quest for the bestest, lightweight camper trailer (see this earlier thread of mine), I noticed that Pod Trailers now have a full off-road camper option. I did a search and came across this thread here where it would seem that there are a number of members using straight trailers already.





    How are they going? Has anyone here got a podtrailer camper?

    When I optioned up the Backtrax (which I was previously looking at) it came close to $20K. This puts into into the full, camper, caravan range so it automatically killed itself off. It seems that even with all useful options, a Pod Compact Camper is still under $10K.

    and the weight is amazing


    after having a squiz at the website I'm interested how the bed appears,, it seems to over hang on inside of the camper,,


    or is that just advertising

    Sorry, can't help myself.

    Do the bars come off the top so that the cover can be used as a toboggan/water sled/rowboat?



    Cheers

    Now that's an excellent looking bit of gear. Especially for the price.

    Nice looking bit of gear and would be excellent in the bush but... I bought a full on off road trailer and ebay camper trailer top for an all up price of less than $5000
    And for 12 times a year the campertrailer works excellent and I dont feel like I got too ripped off!!!!
    Like I say each to their own, spend what you can justify but dont overcapitilise on a once in a while hobby!!!!

    Agree
    I have a castaway off road camper trailer . we paid 8 grand (cheap in the world of Off road camper trailers ) for it and dragged it all round aus (nearly 40,000 k's) and we still have it . But as it is not alot we have it parked under the house ready to go when we want to . But i would not want anything more expensive sat under the house not being used most of the time
