Thread: Cape york trailer, finally!

Congratulations JC,

Great feeling isn't it I ordered a new camper trailer (Pioneer Argyle) in January, and hopefully will take delivery the week before Easter.

Big drive the Kimberly's, especially from where you are

Oi, I thought you said u were coming this way!!!! When r we going to the cape?

Great news mate , But dont forget the it didnt happen with out the pics , so once you get dont forget the pics

Sure is a great feeling, but ever mindful of the repayments...Not all that bad considering the sale of the LS400 will leave a sizeable chunk of monthly payments available now for the camper. In one way, out the other...

Adrian, We will be going up your way next year, as we planned this NW trip to coincide with visiting a friend of ours in Kunnunurra who's other half has a job/ contract up there for only the rest of this year...plus his 110 needs a cambelt and a major service right about the time we are there...

Pics will be available when we pick it up. This model dosen't appear on their website as it is a special order full body version of their family sized soft floor camper. We hired one on our trip to the eastern gulf and Lawn Hill etc and was impressed with its simplicity and strength.

Cool JC, I'll save the cape till mid 2009.

Very nice trailers. We were in there looking at them and talking to the guys at Cape York Trailers, Cairns last Friday. Very helpful bunch and they are a good quality build for the price. CYT was on our shortlist but having spent last week going through everything we're pretty well settled on a Kimberley Kamper.

Now I have to spend the next 4 months setting the Disco up for touring and towing

You should be happy with a CYT trailer. The company I work for has several CYT trailers. No tent or accessories, just the trailer with a lid. We carry tools, cable and camping gear in them. Most of them cover about 30,000 to 40,000 Km per year. About half of this is over unsealed roads, property tracks and some off road. After four years they have had no major problems.

We were impressed by the robustness and simple design of them mostly. We took our rental one into some pretty rough and remote places west of The Isa and Cloncurry, and at high speeds through bulldust and corrugations north from Cammooweal and it handled it with ease. Went everywhere the Rangie went, no questions.

That is the best way to buy a trailer. Rent one for 4 weeks and that'll show up any flaws I can tell you! We found none at all.
