Stopped making Adventure offroad campers ????
« on: June 11, 2014, 03:12:25 PM »
 I sent an email today to Adventure Offroad Campers for a query and got this;

The same level of service and supplies are still available from our new location.
The only thing we cannot do is build anymore Adventure Campers.

Just bought my van from Choice.

The son, Paul is the MD. His father is 70+ and is retiring and the campers will no longer be made as this was his baby. Paul mentioned that he did not want to continue the manufacturing side of the business.  I didn't ask the reason.

The remaining units they have in stock are being sold at the Choice Caravans site at 1019 South Road Edwardstown (opposite Castle Plaza). When I was there on the 2nd June, they still had about 3-4 Adventure Offroad units available.

Cheers, Marschy

What a shame, they certainly made a great camper :cup:
When travelling around Oz last year,we stopped in at Adventure to get a few minor repairs done on our 10 Y/O camper. Paul and his staff couldn't have been more helpful and bent over backwards to get us on the road as quickly as possible
Hopefully that sort of service continues  ???

This is such a disturbing trend in Australia today.
Here for a good time, not a long time!

A shame.  Certainly an innovative camper.

I wonder how much they are chasing for the rights to manufacture.

Have heard the Adventure brand has a new owner and they will be starting to manufacture again which is great news.
