Welcome petrolhead

Bit more background info would be good.

Your needs (family size)
your anticipated use (long distance touring, short or long stays)
Tow vehicle (now/future)

Ask and you shall recieve.

 :cheers:

hi mace.
at the moment it's myself mrs and young fella, would like it to have room for one more, it would be used for trips down south to the coast and longer trips through the desert around WA, i have a 80 series all the usual fruit running 35's, so the camper would def need to be as reliable as the cruiser and follow it where ever the old girl can tow it. ;D

Trackabout Deluxe Tourer has a very good rep on this forum. Many have them with nil negatives I am yet to hear. Good value for money, built tough and exceptional service through JT. Highly recommended........Well under $20k.

Trackabout Deluxe Tourer was what I came up with (after 6 months of researching) and have been very happy since purchase. I think any of the CT's that are genuine Aussie Made seem to be pretty reliable though.
