Title: Lost soul!!
Post by: grant110 on April 09, 2014, 10:02:38 AM: Sooo - every single camper i look at (yes looking at Chinese) has terrible reviews with a few good reviews thrown in - are there any GOOD campers for under $20k - ideally new. Problem is i dont have the option of going and looking at them in workshops and sales yards as i live in the middle of nowhere - 2400km from Perth, 2000 from Darwin and more to everywhere else!!

Plenty of exceptional buys in great secondhand ones too. I know often the urge is to buy new but really with a camper it's not imperative and some are as good as new condition with the silly bugs sorted out.

Try doing some sticky beaking at the local camping areas when there are a few people around, most will be very helpful and more than happy to show you their campers and there are a couple of swaggers in Broome as well.
Good luck with the search :cheers:

Ok so on average 10 years old, but still pretty good campers IMO. It all comes down to what features you want and what camper suits each person. Campers are definitely an individual thing, what suits one person may not suit another.
