Title: INFORMATION NEEDED PLEASE... Custom Poptop builder WANTED
Post by: OzHitch on March 18, 2013, 09:53:57 AM

Hi Swaggers.. Need some Help/Information. 

I'm on the Sunshine Coast and am looking for someone/company, not to far away from Coolum, who would be able to build a CUSTOM offroad pop-top camper for me in the style of a Jayco 12 foot but with all my personal modifications and requirements. I currently have a BushTracker poptop dual axle 15ft and find it bulkier than what I want. I need something that I would be able to take into tighter steeper tracks than what this is suitable for.  ???

Any suggestions would be great

Thanks

Its a pity your not near premier, his build sounds like what your talking about.
Top notch too.

Cheers

Keep in mind that a ground-up build of the vehicle can be very expensive (sourcing components, labour etc) so would a Jayco, with extra accessories, on an off-road chassis, be suitable?

if he has a bushtracker and is selling that to build something else, I don't think its going to be an issue.

Hi Norm,

Even though his website looks dodgy as, Otto Tuza is on Learjet drive. He builds off-road caravans, even though his website is mostly about horse floats :)

Well worth having a chat :)

Bryan
