    Dang... someone scored. Not my choice as a rig but that is def a bargain at $4300

    2mm chequer plate body, enclosed sides, 3mm box and 3mm 100x50x2200 drawbar, stainless kitchen and water tank, eleccy brakes, nice suspension setup... not bad at all.

    The tops at that level of the market are all mucho mucho samo 14 oz ripstop out of China. Either use it till it's knackered or sell it and wack a full canvas jobbie on the trailer.

    I went a different path and had a custom trailer made and put the top of our choice on it
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Yep X2 for me.

    That is a bargain regardless where most of it came from. I paid way way way more that that for my camper, way way more.!!

    That is very well appointed and you'd expect to pay that much just for the trailer without the canvas top, so cheap!

    I think it read that the top was an OZ Trail top and i cant say i read the add, just looked at the pics but have a friend that has an OZ Trail and it looked identical to his. Not a big fan of his, too much framework for me but that is a Steal!

    If your looking for something to tow to QLD or on a family holiday where it will be mainly bitumen and light dirt then that is a winner and price sensitive. DONT tow it across the Simpson though
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Hey Todd, nothing wrong with the Chinese campers. We loved ours and would buy one again. It wouldn't be as good as some of the top name ones but it's also 10th of the price.
    Just make sure it's a welded trailer(which this looks like it is) and not a bolt on as a lot of them are.

    Don't stress you'll get another at that price!

    Hi guys

    I thought it looked great, the only issue you might consider is some support for the tailgate when it swings out. It has nothing stopping the weight of the kitchen flexing on the hinges.

    Also the stone guard might let a few go by, big holes in that mesh.
