Finally got the upgrade!
« on: November 30, 2015, 03:12:07 PM »
Hi All, thanks for letting us into this select club!

The missus and I aren't new to camping but have decided to treat ourselves to our first Camper Trailer before the bub comes along (we figured it should make family camping easier)

With a pretty strict list of requirements and a tight budget I've been scouring the internets on the hunt for a bargain, this is what I found



Not a great pic of the CT but it's a 2005 Sar Major Camper trailer with an Aussie made tent and off road trailer. It has everything we wanted good quality good size tent, well made trailer that isn't going to rattle apart on the hard stuff and a great price tag!

Picked it up last week and the mods have already started, I'm going to have to start a build thread..

Cheers all! We are very much looking forward to camping off the ground and sleeping on a proper mattress, plus waking up dry and not in a puddle will be nice

Welcome Greeny  :cheers:

You should have no problem with your camper. We've also got a Sar Major camper with off-road trailer and Aussie made tent and love it!

I did a build up / upgrade forum tread a couple of years ago that you might find interesting. The link is in my signature below.

Are you in SA? I've also found Sar Major's after sales support to be awesome (they're is SA).

I look forward to reading about your mods and improvements.

Cheers Everyone!

Geopaj, we're from Jimboomba (just SW of brisbane) but while I was looking at the trailer emailed SarMajor and thy were nothing but helpful, great service even when buying one of their trailer second-hand!

Also loved having a read of your build thread, learnt many things about our trailers, like what the moveable pole at the front is for!
