30 big ones WOW
I agree entirely, is why i'm not in any hurry to make my mind up on this. But most of the better units are up around this number.Quote:

wow man you have looked at a few
decision decisions :angel:
we looked them as well when we were buying our new van
we came to the decision that we didn't plan on going extreme off road
so we bought a coramal campervan instead
plus having 4 kids it made it alot easier to fit in;)
more stoirage place than a tent trailer
and all your needs are already in there everytime you go away
this is ours

very happy with our choice :D :D
That is indeed a very nice unit Ray, much better built than the Jayco but also more expensive I think?
I never intend to take the camper extreme off road, but I do intend to eventually take it around Australia and the outback. I doubt a Jayco will last long term based on this scenario.
The thing I hate about the lower end of the market trailers is the fact the bed lies the wrong way in the tent. Perhaps I just need to get over it...or the missus :D.
i think thats best placed in the mud pit :DQuote:

i went to every campervan dealer in Melb to get ours
glad its over now
I have a camper with this bed configuration. I sleep on the drop off side and my wife sleeps on the 'safe' side. She is worried she will fall out. If she gets up during the night she would have to push me off the edge and kick me a few times to wake me up so it works well for us :)Quote:

I could never justify $30k for a tent on wheels but that's just my opinion.
My Disco and camper cost less than that combined. In fact less than $20k combined.
The complete campsite does a side fold with a twist, you get in from the foot of the bed

A bit exxie think it is around 20k
I personally like the Kanga range

better built and cheaper than trackabout. (IMHO however Trackabout might be tougher)
Its certainly an option, or take it another step, buy a good quality new off road trailer, buy the outback sturt canvas tent which folds off the end (if they would sell it separate), and fit off every thing else my self. Only thing I would have to do is talk to the trailer manufacturer to space the chassis in such a way to allow for the water tank underneath behind the axle and a 2 meter long draw bar. Could add a kitchen something similar to the ones found on www.drifta.com.auQuote:
