Thanks for the update. I was thinking of a box up front for a fridge. I would like a wider kitchen bench as I have a smev sink I would like to reuse, it's 500mm wide it goes with their optional smev stoves with the glass lids. I don't they can make a 500mm bench fit in though.

Does anyone have one of these, or know someone who does? Bob

XTRAIL XMT/A1 is a compact designed camper trailer specially developed for Swag and roof top tent 4WDers, weekend getaway with mates go fishing, hunting in bush and high country areas. The main feature of XMT/A1 is its maneuverability in rugged terrain and narrow bush environment. Because of its length and wheel track, it goes where ever your 4WD can go. With enclosed annex, it can actually fit sleeping bag for kids if need to.
Set up and pack up of this camper is so easy that can be done at no time. The camper jam packed with loads of luxuries including XTRAIL stainless steel kitchen with DC pump driven tap, 60L water tank, 100Ah 12V battery system with 7 stage charger, fridge on lockable bearing fridge slide, two huge drawers for food items, emergency/rescue gear etc.
The camper is a modular design where most accessories can be inter changed to other accessories XTRAIL developed and developing. This allows you to turn this camper into garden cage trailer, timber carrying trailer, tradesman trailer, dirt bike trailer, etc. Now, you camper can be utilized everyday rather than just few ocassion annually.

... seems quite exe, if you're handy buy an ex-mil haulmark (under 8yo) or earlier track trailer and fit it our yourself ?

looks top heavy.

If you used all that handy looking real estate in front of the box you'd have a hard time balancing towball weight due to no rear overhang.

Did you see that on the website there are tywo types of Suspension. one with solid axle leaf and the other with independent spring ? Is that another customisable spec ?

Old thread but I wondered if anyone ever did get one of these?

Saw one on the weekend at the Vic 4wd show and like the small size and simple design. Appears the company closed up shop last year but sold on the design to a new mob who will continue to make them. Unfortunately the rep at the show was swamped with fans when we were there I so wasn't able to get much info on them.

X-trail shut down yes, but the fella behind the XMT-A1 took the design with him to the new owners of X-trail. He's a top bloke and great to talk to
(Did some interviews with him at Lesiurefest)

Thay are working on a new one with an aluminium body and a modular design. (1 chassis, multiple bodies)
It will be lighter again.

I love the concept of a small camper. They are the sort of trailer that will go anywhere your truck can.

Yes, we've found all the campers out there are way too big for what we want. This is pretty much the perfect size to fit what would normally go in and on the roof of our 90. As a bonus the design is pretty funky too.

It think the new owners are these guys: ozRVshop.com - get 4WD, caravan, camper and marine parts and accessories at less price. that's the business card that was attached to the brochure anyway, looks like the site has no references as yet, it was only very recent.
