Title: camper trailer for 1-2 people
Post by: mazzerati on January 02, 2015, 04:35:07 PM
Am looking to buy my first second hand camper trailer and am needing suggestions for one that can be easily set up (and packed up) by one person.
Having said that it needs to be able to sleep 2-3 people as my family is visiting for a month from mid April 2015.
Preferably a semi-off road as I like camping in the National Parks, I would use it for weekends away but also for 3-4 weeks camping trips. Some thoughts have been a motorbike camper trailer, when visiting the Litchfield NP in July last year, a Elite camper trailer caught my eye.  A friend suggested CUB and also have looked at a Marlin.
Am in northern NSW, so would like to buy around that area or southern QLD.
 I have a Subaru Forester AWD, tow bar: gross trailer mass 300kg and max static ball load: 75kg

Someone else was askin about them the other day as well.

Good lightweight unit.

Looked at them years ago but couldn't find one second hand.

gross trailer mass 300kg

GTM (Gross Trailer Mass)
The total permissible mass which includes whatever you add as payload (eg. water, gas and luggage) that can be supported by the wheels of a trailer. This does not include the mass supported by the tow ball.

I think this is going to be your biggest problem

Early foresters have a 1300kg braked capacity, not 300. Mistype by the OP which I saw thru. treks fit this capacity.  8)
