I went to the Maitland Caravan and Camping Show last Sunday, my son is in the market for a camper so while he was talking to the sales people I thought I'd cast a critical eye. There was one camper from a pretty well known brand name, imported from you know where and when I slid underneath I was pretty shocked. First, a camper with an advertised tare of 1840kg and a 100x50x4 box section with welds that look like my work (and I can't weld to save myself). The floor was sheet metal which looked nearly thin enough to poke your finger through. There was at least 70% of the bulk of the trailer forward of the axle and when I asked about the ball weight I was told "about 300kg!". Worst of all was the bayonet gas fittings which protruded past the wheel flares! Now we constantly hear about improvements in the Chinese product and having imported products from China myself in the past I know they will try to pass anything over to an unwary importer, but it was pretty disappointing to see this from a camper that they were asking $25k for.
