Beware cheap (plastic) chinese trailers!
« on: October 12, 2012, 11:19:26 PM »
My wife has been complaining that I haven't been doing enough with the kids lately. So I said "righto, I'll build something with them." Couldn't help myself really and they loved the quality time too.
  Complete with solid axle/independant suspension, modular design (think Track MATE) and your choice of colours. I know, I know, I need to get to the shed more often.

Cheers

Are those 8 ply muddies standard or are they an "optional extra"?

You have noticed some of the great features of this camper, but due to a supply shortage of materials (and those custom "solid ply" muddies), I will not be able to take any orders sorry. It is terribly sad to keep seeing these Chinese camper trailer companies going down the drain. ;D ;D

Cheers

There is only one vehicle that could match(box) the capabilities of the trailer!

this one is like many on the market, confusing and its in the fine print to see what it really is.

As I see it, its imported chinese materials but australian assembled.. so is that really Australian Made?

That can't be a Chinese made camper, there is not enough bolts.

Mate, Better not keep any tasty drinks in there while traveling, they may end up getting broken as the suspension or lack there of may jostle em around a tad.
 I think you will have trouble registering it
It has no mud guards or flaps.... ;D :cup:
