Thread: Kimberly Kampers OMG!!!!!!

It's all a matter of taste and budget really. When you have a look around include the Cavalier Camper in your inspection list, I have been very happy with mine. It is not easy to unfold on your own until someone tells you to clip a couple of cheap dog's leads on the tabs near the first bracket you pull over, once you do that it is easy. Mine has been to Mitchell Falls and over East and the only damage has been a couple of tired bolts which hold the drop down legs for the kitchen. Repalcement cost around $2.30.

We have the 9ft extra heavy duty with the awning and it cost around $7500 about 4 years ago.

I am sure that there are lots of other cheapies you will like - I reckon these gin palaces are over the top, especially the high rise job elsewhere in this forum at around $48000.

I've just been through the looking for a camper trailer exercise. I agree with you the KK is a great piece of kit but was way out of my price range. In the end I liked both the Camper factory offering from Capalaba and one from Trackabout Campers in Moss Street. I ended up going for the Trackabout as it seemed pretty good value for money at about 11k all up. A workmate of the wifes has one and has not long completed a 3 month trip through the gulf and central Australia and was very happy with it so that finally sold me. I hope to pick it up this weekend or early next week so I can't say anything about it from personal experience yet.

Hi Fossil,

I have to agree with your choice of the Trackabout units, I had a 2 hr tour of the factory before Xmas and was pretty sold on them back then, but thought I would look at the hard floors models that seem to be so popular in the mags etc, I think it may be from their marketing budgets due to the prices they charge that makes them seem so popular. 8O

I think for the money the Trackabout is probably 50% better than its nearest competitor, to find a similar setup, features and quality I have seen others for $15K to $20K

Plus I reckon that they are some of the most honest easy to deal with people in the industry.


BTW, are you getting them to match the wheels to your disco :?:


Would be keen to hear your thoughts once you have dragged it around a bit.

There are some interesting things on the website too
i'm not easily impressed, but this roof top swag got my attention



some interesting camper set ups to,

Have to agree with the Trackabout crew being easy to deal with. They were only too happy to help me with what were probably pretty silly questions. I didn't actually deal with the boss, John but I have heard he is great to deal with. I was speaking to a young guy Bret and he was very helpful. I suppose I shouldn't give too much of a wrap till I get the trailer which now looks like being early next week but so far so good. Getting them to fit hubs to match the Disco was no problem. It would have cost more to get suitable rims but I had a spare set of Disco steel rims with suitable tyres and they used them. Ended up saving me money.

I'll do a bit of a post on it when I get it and have given it a bit of a work out. I'm sure there will be a few negatives that you never seem to think of till you've lived with something for a while.

Mate checkout one of these, they are great value, new or second hand.

CUB Supamatic or the bigger Spacematic from 10,000 to 16,000 depending on how many options you want.

Hi Baz,

I heard that they have the dust sealing capacity of a sieve 8O
