    Kimberley Kamper Kitchen Slide

    Hi All,

    We had a look at a 2nd hand Kimberley Kamper while up this coast this week. The kitchen was quite difficult to slide out, it took quite a continuous force. Its the only one we have looked at so I don't have a comparison. Any comments from the brains-trust?

    Cheers

    My Camp'o'matic has nylon runners so that it is totally reliable. Too make it easier you can spray the runners with dry lube.

    I think one of the reasons to use runners rather than drawer bearings is so that if you forget to lock it, it doesn't fall out from road camber.

    I know a bloke who had a very expensive camper trailer who forgot to lock the kitchen which had drawer bearings. it didn't like hitting the corner post of the fence at the camping ground entrance much.

    Regards Philip A

    KK Kitchen slides

    I have a 2nd Hand KK
    the Kitchen slide was very hard
    I found there was a build up of dust etc on and around the slide
    pull it out as far as you can try and clean the runner surface
    I found the plastic slides were too tight fitting
    using a orbital sander I narrowed them and rounded the corners
    then gave it a good spray of silicone
    cured problem
    cheers

    PS do not forget to lock it

    Thanks Back In. We couldn't do a reasonable deal on a 2nd hand unit so we bought new. Paid an extra few $k but got a lot more for our money. Very happy but haven't been into the rough stuff yet.

    Did you buy yours recently?

    K Kamper

    Hi
    bought mine a 2007 Limited Edition 3 years ago Sept 11
    had not been far, about 1/2 the new price.
    since then put a swing away on the back, 300mm draw bar extension, and several extra boxes.
    had to take weight off the ball a/c only allowed 150kgs on the Disco1
    On our trip around NT and WA in 2012 18,000kms, inc a few 1000kms of dirt, 3.4m boat, motor etc etc average better than 10lt/100kms and a 2lt of gas when I could get it.
    been happy with so far
    cheers
    Ian
