« on: April 27, 2012, 12:26:25 PM »
Hi all
Is there anyone in Melbourne that has a Trackabout. Preferably northern or eastern burbs. I would like to have a look at one so I can consider ordering one. An Extenda or Dakar is preferred. Thank ya.

I know and that is why I am leaning towards them because they have such a good writeup.

Personally I wouldn't buy any Camper ever again sight unseen.. I'd take a cheap flight up there and inspect in person.

PM the new owners on here, ask the zillion questions

See if you can arrange a Friday flight up, inspect Saturday morning -(do the deal in person always works better too), and Saturday arvo flight back.

Worth a try.

Donuts,

The Melbourne dealer was 'Focused on Image' and there was also Crocodile Campers who hired them out. I am no sure if they are still dealing in Trackabouts after the recent events.

We bought our Safari Trackabout this time last year sight unseen. We live in Sydney and just trusted everyones reviews on them. Could't have been happier. We just got it sent down on back of a truck that John organized.

You won't find any negative comments on a Trackabout because they are just so bloody good!!!...... I do understand you wanting to see one in the flesh before handing over the $$......... But also in saying that i'm pretty sure you could buy 100 Trackabouts in all models and be happy with every one of them.... :cheers:

Hey adrianv
Not too far I guess. I am at the end of the ring nightmare  I mean road near Geeensborough. I have this week off so maybe can arrange something. That would be great.
