Title: Australian manufactured Campertrailers Guide
Post by: Black Diamond on March 01, 2014, 08:57:32 PM

Come across a handy link to help people on making some decisions on purchasing a Camper Trailer and maybe help answering a few questions.

Interesting but certainly not an exhaustive list of Australian Camper trailer manufactures.

To name a couple not included - Sar Major and Ultimate.

I imagine manufactures have to pay to be part of the AMCTG (a bit like food companies using the Heart Smart Tick)

Maybe a few of the members, Trackabout or Customline, can inform us of the membership process other than the engineering compliance cert.

Hi D4D,

It does cost to be a member.
But that money goes towards the running of the AMCTG, audit cost, advertising, CSIRO and RMIT testing of imported canvas and products.
It is a non-profit organisation.

Jayco campers would appear to meet the criteria? All oz manufactured and built?
Certain to be a hard pill to swallow for some.....
