Thread: Camper trailers, any one have one of these?

Nice trailer Bob. Don't think I want to know the price though.

Too true mate. Match it up with the new Defender, probably have to sell the house. But, we all have our dreams. I think I will be driving the $8000 Disco 2 for a while yet. AND loving it.! 395,000 km's and counting.

Patriots can be financed for $137 a week according to their website. If I sneak off and sell the wife's Mazda we're there. Of course I may be kicked out of the house and have to sleep in it in the carport...

At least you'll have the camper to sleep in

I once lived in our current Aussieswag camper for a year, so I've been there, done that.

I hired one of these last year for a trip from Perth to Gnaraloo (north of Carnarvon)
Really excellent camper. I think they're about $48K new. But climbing down that ladder in the middle of the night for a jimmy riddle isn't my cup of tea. So we've just bought a Pioneer Longreach instead. Just as well put together, but no climbing ladders to bed:-)

Any advice on the cheaper camper Trailers? I am looking at either the Black Series Commando or the Equivalent entry level MDC Camper. Max Budget $7000.

I bought a hard floor camper trailer from a mob in Melbourne for $5K, I believe that they are around $8 to $10K now.
It is a Chinese CKD setup and assembled here in Australia.
If you can get to the Importer and buy one before some Aussie would be Camper Trailer builder gets hold of one and Tarts it up a bit, then sells them for over $20+K.
My Mate bought one Identical to mine except for Independent suspension, some fancy paint and wheels and he paid $26K.
I am extremely happy with my Chinese/Australian trailer, can't fault the workmanship, but the assembly part was slack in a few spots, nothing serious and easily fixed, will find some pics and post up, Regards Frank.
