Hello from Tassie
« on: July 16, 2011, 05:28:42 PM »
Hi there:

I've been lurking in the forums for a while now and have already learned quite a lot, so thanks for that!  We're about to take the plunge on a new kimberley kamper and have a trip planned to the Flinders in about a month or so.  So cheers, and thanks for all the great info here.

Thanks for the welcome.  I'll take/post pix when we get the rig & set it up.  We're towing with a (stock) 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport CRD.

Woo hoo ... the KK is ordered!   ;D

We got the LE - with the diesel heater, extended drawbar, 70 L water tank and Kwik awing walls.  Other than that, it is pretty stock.  It is a pity that they couldn't match the Jeep's track width and wheel size but ya can't have everything, I guess.

I noticed that you can buy a KK in the United States for roughly 10k cheaper than in Australia.  They take off 10% for lack of GST (of course), but 10% as an "export discount".  And then freight to LA is free!  That just isn't right ... <sigh>

But I'm still excited about the kamper!
