Well done on your choice of Camper from another newbie to myswag. We ordered an Ecomate explorer series 3 rear fold in late November 2014 and have delayed taking delivery until builders complete our new shed hopefully by mid February. Currently we own a Cape York off road soft floor camper with boat rack which we purchased in 2002. We intend to keep the "Yorkie"(which has been extremely reliable) for our annual fishing trips to the Cape and also our kids make good use of it. Our decision to purchase the Ecomate was based on reasonable price,quick set up,facilities such as kitchen incl stove, slide for fridge, room for generator etc. all of which make the camper suitable for extended touring. Also, we have inspected a number of rental Ecomates some of which have been to the"Tip" in excess of 6 times and from talking to the people at Savanah Trailers there have been no issues with performance an reliability. My Swag member Muzza 01 who owns a similar camper has also been very helpful to us with his expert advice.
All the best with your new camper.
