Title: Can you help me chose?
Post by: novaoz on August 07, 2013, 07:22:46 PM: Hi there guys
Since deciding to buy a CT and finding this site I have found a couple I am very interested in, they can be both had for $12900, but not knowing enough about them and what is important I am hoping you can advise which might be better.

I realise that it might be the "how long is a piece of string" question, but there could be something glaringly obvious that I just am not aware of.

Any help you can give is appreciated.

Does that make sense to do it that way?

Not sure if the tent is local or imported, but from memory they are 12 footers. I wasn't overly impressed by the features vs price as they were expensive for a very basic trailer/tent when I looked at them. They seem to be throwing more features into their campers now though.

Family run business located south of Adelaide. You'll need to add a bit more for shipping to Rocky possibly in excess of another thousand.

Post by: novaoz on August 07, 2013, 08:10:21 PM: Yeah, I thought of even maybe buying just a trailer and adding a better tent like the Gordi gear one, but I just don't know enough about trailers to buy with any confidence at the moment.
