[Cadbury]

Hi all,
I know this might not be the right place for it, but I am looking at getting a camper trailer. Has anyone got a GIC or know anyone who has? If so how are ther?
Cheers

I have a friend who has one, we took our campers to fraser island a couple of weeks ago. He has the alloy one, cost around 10k i think. Not too bad, some of the welding looks a bit weak or done in a hurry. Not everything lines up nicely either. The canvas is fairly light weight and all Chinese made. For the price you pay, you seem to get pretty good value, but I personally wouldn't buy one (I have a lifestyle camper) as I don't think it would make it across the Gibb River Road (next years trip).

You usually get what you pay for..

I was looking at them when I bought mine year and a half ago. From the research I did they where pretty good for the price.
I ended up buying one from a company from Melbourne..the camper is now for sale...lol

Thanks guys, I thought it could not be too bad with all the coverage they are getting in the 4wd action mags and dvd's

I am also looking at one of these Cadbury. For the price you can't go wrong.

Keep in mind these people are paying to promote their product with the mag.
Not saying its a bad camper or anything, but that mag have a history of talking stuff up.
Next month new advertiser and new best product IYKWIM.
A hands on look and compare can not be beaten, that show at Rosehill has plenty to compare. Imagine Brisbane show would be the same.
Found a web site of Australian CT manufacturers years ago, there were 148 listed!

Best bet is to have a close look at the them and compare them with other brands, from what I've heard their quality is below average.

Hi Cadbury,

I went to the 4X4 Show at Eastern Creek on the weekend and there were quite a few companies there selling their wares, including camper trailers. As we are also looking to buy one I spoke to most of the vendors there.

I found that most of the trailers and equipment were basically the same quality but prices varried wildly and some were down right decieving. "Starting from $1990.00"!!! then you have to buy the trailer and then the ..... etc you get the drift.

I did come accross Mike from MDC and these boys seem to be the real deal and relativley honest enough. Their packages are all complete and there seems to be no hidden catches. Have a look at their website http://www.marketdirectcampertrailers.com.au/

I'm looking at the Off Road T-Box V2 Camper Trailer myself and the missus even likes it... (Crikey!) just have to get het dollars together and we are away.

Cheers,

Rob
