E & Z Trading campers

[ddr]

The majority of comments I read about poor quality for Ezytrails typically come from someone who doesn't own one. Again,

Im happy to get a direct email from Friends (I mentioned this thread to them Satdy night) & my sister if this is the sticking point.  Ive been away several times with those 2 campers & seen the issues first hand.  I was in the "store" when my mate took his back for the 5th time for repair & saw the "Customer service" first hand.

Look as dog poo with rose colored glasses you might see pudding, I still see crap.

G'day guys,

I have been watching thread for a little while.

A work mate of mine bought one of their hard floor jobbies. He lives in Bundaberg Qld and on top of the purchase price, he paid about $1800 to get it shipped up to him.

I was aware that there were problems with his CT but waited till I got the chance to ask him about exactly what they were.

The main problem, as I understand it, was that the spring hangers were not welded onto the chassis square to the longitudinal axis of the trailer. They were about 40mmm out.

He has had the structural and engineering problems rectified in the months he has had it now and recently returned from a trip to the top end without problem.

I guess the point I am trying to make is this:- It is fine to say that one gets what one pays for, but it is another thing entirely to be supplied with a trailer with very obvious defects in workmanship and engineering.

I would respectfully urge all considering purchasing a CT online to at least attempt to inspect said CT before accepting delivery. Preferably have someone who knows what they are looking at go over it with you. (a welder or boilermaker with a tape measure would be a good start)

Re the canvas, my mate had no problems with his.

I had no illusions about what I was buying as I have previously stated, so I must assume your comment about rose coloured glasses has been misdirected and was intended for your friends and sister.

Each to there own i spose,maybe i just got one built on friday beers and bbq day, but when my 4 year old son asks why is the new camper is leaking onto his bed and has to sleep with mum and dad. that was enough for me how ever i did waterproof it to slow it down but in the end i had enough
yeah maybe the jayco is alot dearer but i know what i would prefer
good to see people that did some good ones from them and are using them

Presently at Punsand Bay camping ground. Towed our hardtop Ezytrail from the Gold Coast with no problems. A good budget camper as far as we are concerned. Did a small part of the Old Telegraph Track - Fruitbat Falls, Elliot Falls to Canal Creek. Have been on some very rough roads and tracks and the camper is in one piece and showing no problems at all.

My boss bought one about 18 months ago and whilst they are nice and cheap, they are the reason that I decided to build my own. The welds are crap (draw bar only tacked on despite being advertised as full off road), dross all through the gal coat, no sealing, trailer plug wiring back to front, floor warped very badly, just to name a few. And once he started using it, it leaked like a sieve. Yes I have actually witnessed it. Better to buy good quality second hand.

I bought my Hardfloor last wet season and I have had only one small problem, which was a little mould. How that was easily rectified. Apart from that no problems. I just returned from a Darwin-Roper Bar-Limmen NP-Lorella Springs-Lawn Hill NP-Mt Isa-Davenport Ranges-Darwin and everywhere inbeteween.

Yes they are cheap and and maybe lesser build quality, but there are still plenty of name brand CT that do have problems. I could still drop another $10k on my trailer improving and would still be infront if I bought a name brand CT for $40k. Not saying that they arent worth it but right now I am infront plenty of $.

As people have said as long as you know what you are buying then there isnt a need to complain.

Tough crowd........ As others have said, when buying a camper trailer you need to go into the exercise with your eyes wide open. Judging by these snippets from their website, these camper trailers are obviously a premium product at a budget price.
