There is an announcement on another forum that says that the gates are locked and people who had paid deposits and others need to discuss with the receivers. :'(

If this is true and they had been taking money from people and they knew they were in trouble they should be sitting in a cell at Wacol..... not good enough....

I've just read a post on CTOrg's website supposedly posted by a purchaser who had paid a deposit and was to collect his camper next week stating that the doors had been closed and he couldn't raise the owners. He was looking for others in similar circumstances to collectively contact the receiver to discuss the situation.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

So, if true, trading insolvent ... whod'a thunk...  Not just the purchasers deposits either, also employees entitlements.

I have no idea about the CT business being discussed here, but it is a good reminder to only ever pay the absolute minimum deposit no matter what u are buying........ if a manufacturer wants more than your willing to pay, maybe look elsewhere.....

Good advice as i said earlier we would have had to pay at least 10% which would have been $1500.And that was 3 weeks ago and they were prepared to take our order and deposit.Theres probably alot more to the story as it wasnt long ago that Terry went to the Cape and back to promote his CTs .Maybe they thought that they could get out of the trouble they were in. Its sad when you see a good aussie buisness like this go under sign of the times trying to compete with Chinese imports its also happening here with our local CT builder.

This would be a shame for all concerned' the proprietors, current owners and anyone who had left a deposit and not collected yet.

Nothing is confirmed.  People really shouldn't be commenting, judging, or making assumptions until a statement or similar is made by the company, a representative, or its receivers.

Surely they deserve that level of respect at this point.

I agree, it is sad to see, however the imports aren't wholly to blame. The popularity of camper trailers has exploded in the past few years, with more and more manufacturers competing for our business. It has almost reached saturation point, they have to come up with bigger and better ideas to sell their product while trying to operate on tighter margins.
Add to this the very strong  second hand market and yes, cheaper imports, and unfortunately something has to give.

I hope they haven't gone under, as they are quite an established company, and that there is some other explanation for their silence.

Cheers
Matt

Totally agree Spargo. All this speculation and no real proof. What if there is some other explanation?
All this hype could now cost them sales. Business is tough enough these days without rumors costing sales as well.
