Title: Pinnacle Camper - buy without viewing???
Post by: Quiet Achiever on September 07, 2011, 10:36:20 PM

Hi,

Just wondering if those of you with a Pinnacle Camper, did you get to see it before you bought it? I contacted Pinnacle in Ballarat and they don't have them on display. I can see the trailers in Avoca where they are built, but if I want to view the complete unit I need to be lucky enough to coincide with one being picked up from the warehouse. I see some of you are in QLD, did you see the camper before you bought it?

Thanks.

I had a look at one at a camping show a little while ago and I would STRONGLY recommend that you have a good look at one (and preferrably THE one) you were intending to buy.

we brought ours with out flying over to look at it and was told by greg that there is a c/t shopm here in perth that resells his product with a few changes so we had a look and decided to go ahead and order and have it delivered to perth

never again will i do it

greg was helpfull and did refund me money for my time and cost in fixing the issue's i had found

my advice is make the drive  there and set it up and inspect it before collection if i hadnt fitted all my goodies to the trailer before i found the problems i would have sold it and brought a quality camper from a local c/t builder and payed a few dollars more for a great product instead of being a tightass

but insaying all that i have spend approx 120hrs on my camper since purchase repairing the issues and fitting it out with some nice extras and modifying it to the point where im now happy to take it around australia starting at the end of september

I always say that the setup is as important as any other feature on the camper, so if you can't set it up somewhere, and pack it away again you just don't know how easy to use it might be.
