Not a bad looking camper for the price. Would be interesting to see what the build quality is like at close inspection.

Had a look through these at the last Camping show at the Gold Coast Turf Club, it has pissed down on the Friday forcing organisers to cancel that day, we went on the Sunday and it was still drizzling, nice looking trailers ,good layout, but there were buckets and sponges in some trailers that were set up, some were even packed away, the "salesman" assured me it was because the canvas had not been seasoned prior to the show,  x1 other brand there also had the bucket and sponge as optional extras too, when I asked him about his canvas, he said , don't know, I don't even work there,I just work the shows and get a commission if I sell one ,

Sadly we have to with the tow ball ratings on our tugs. I still can't understand how a 1.3 litre Corolla Accent can have a higher ball weight (130 kg) than the 'cruiser 'tilly or the Disco??? ??? But them's the facts!

he might have been telling the truth re: seasoning canvas...our Kimberley leaked on it's first outing. Picked it up from dealers and drove to Gympie that arvo for a 50th birthday party. It rained that first night and the canvas leaked a bit due to not being seasoned yet.

Well, after another look at these I see the tow ball weight is 150 kg so I'm ****ed there!
 This is really starting to piss me off. Who the **** comes up with these tow weights!
It appears to me I can tow 9/10ths of sweet FA!
Sorry to rant & get upset but I am.

Thanks OM. I looked at the first Ultimate that came to the Brissie camping show years ago & loved it but, sadly, they're out of our budget. (Unless you want to do a "Mates Rates" special deal) ;D
The only thing I can think of is to see if I can get the vehicles' load limits upgraded as they both have beefed up suspension. It would mean a new tow bar for the Disco as the factory fitted is rated to 120 kg.

Keep an eye out for a 2nd hand one? Older model?  What's your budget once you've sold the wing? Pm me if ya want.
