Thanks for reply . Will be looking in trader section for sure . Have no paticular need just want a camper to add to tonnes of other camping and fishing gear for occasional use.In Victorian Mallee so usually head to Murray river wich is less than an hour from home.

You think 'no particular need' but as mentioned, not a bad idea to figure out if it's to be set-up for a week, or moved each day (set-up/pack-up time becomes growing factor); how many people the kitchen must feed (2 or 20?) and your camp site size
