Thread: I think I just bought a Trak Shak

Deleted

Yeah - got a quote for 2 units from the Chinese factory today. Unbelievably cheap. Must be copies as they're too good to be true. Also spoke to a guy who brought 4 in and had a few concerns/horror stories.

Well it has been a long time coming, only about three months late but I finally picked it up today. First impressions are very good, the chassis is now a camp o matic chassis and looks very solid, the new Independant could spring suspension set up with four shocks looks great. The canvas which is Australian made Wax Converters Textiles canvas is very high quality and all the seams and stiching look very good. The kitchen is basic but all stainless and has lots of space and is very flexible. Massve solar array with huge output and deep cycle battery. great full length toolbox on the side. 2 very comfy Queen size beds with inner spring mattresses. Reading lights, lots of Anderson plug outlets and cig lighter and USB outlets in bed area. Tons of unencumbered space in the tent area and very high tent, it feels like being in a unit not a camper.

Electric and override brakes, spare stub axle and hub on board. 9 water jerries, 2 x 4kg gas bottles.

Only done a short trip home so far, but tows beautifully and don't even know its there behind the D3, until you look in the mirror of course because its loody huge.

Only a few minor made in China notes for the trailer body, on the whole the welds etc are good and everything looks heavy duty, there are a couple of slightly dodgy welds on the ends of the boat loader arms but not structural more cosmetic.

Can't wait to take it for its first outing.

Here's a first pic, just seasoning the canvas.
