My bet is Mars rover

Distinctive drawer in the side

I reckon The Punter is on the money based on that distinctive front storage box.

the drawer, front box, and whole design looks the same as all of the Chinese campers. the only way to tell is to have a look at that compliance plate, or give rainbow beach towing a call.  :cheers:

Could be either of the 2 mentioned already, they look exactly the same
They look similar because the pricks keep copying the market leaders.

All made in the same downtown Shanghai factory

Some of the misleading advertising that one three letter company do on their Facebook page is poor

It could be any number of Whoflungdung campers, as many are manufactured in the same factory and simply badged for their respective brand, or are direct copies of each other. This is really surprising considering the R&D that goes into these things, and the level of knowledge that those manufacturers have about actually using a camper  ::) or 12V

Either way it's good to hear no one got hurt, a horrific thing to happen to anyone regardless of what caused it  :cheers:
