Good news indeed, I hope that JT got something after the taxman took his share.

I don't know much about the Trackabout, not having researched it so are they up there with quality build etc? I am in the market for a Mountain Trail or Complete Campsite but open to suggestions re Trackabout.

Quality has been A1, and the designs are excellent. I wouldn't position them with Mountain Trail and Complete Campsite, those two manufacturers have gone more upmarket in terms of options fitted, though the Dakar was definitely a competitor in this regard. The price difference between the brands also reflected this.

That's the best news we've heard for ages!!
 
 Had the tracky up in the backyard on the weekend (first fine weather for ages) - just checking the canvas for mould after such a long wet spell - not a hint of it! While we were "playing" with our tracky, I lamented the closure of the business, so we're stoked to hear it opening again.  Awesome!

All the best Rob and Kim.   As long as the quality is still there you won't go wrong.

All the best to John and family too.

Cheers

That is great news! 

Now, does that mean all current warranties are still covered?  I still got 12 months on mine, not that I'll need it, but just good to know it's there.

Ah and yes, now that i'm a proud Trackabout owner......... I'll say ALL THE BEST TO ROB N KYM!!!!!!!! GO THE TRACKABOUT!!...  i like this bit of info from the home page of the Trackabout website............... "in a nutshell Trackabout will be exactly the same."......................... that's great news.

Guess the proof will be in the pudding.......... but it's sounds like they are kicking off with the right idea.

All the best.

Went down Saturday.
We will be ordering a SV Extenda shortly.
They also mentioned ALL warranties will be honored from before the ' take over (?)'

Thanks

That's great news, thanks for the info. 

Read somewhere on here that the new owners are reading this forum, so if you are reading this now new owners I wish you all the best with the business, it is an awesome thing you have done to take over trackabout and bring back the old staff, because they are the heart and soul of the company. 

I hope you are well aware of the long standing tradition that a free icy-cold beer must be handed to all myswaggers immediately upon entry to the trackabout office.  And then, upon request, another must be proffered to said myswaggers until such time as they get the swaggers...

Anyway, well done and good luck.  Trackabout is an Aussie icon, and it must prevail!

I just hope JT is doing OK now..

Hope he keeps his finger in the pie on the forum here too...
I think everyone thinks highly of him... You dont get a name and reputation like Trackabout by selling your customers trailers with Shit covers on them.
