Hi Harps,
I have had the standard ranger for over 2 years and it hasn't missed a beat. Sturdy construction and simple set up.
For the price I couldn't ask for more.

I was seriously considering ther rear fold model with some fruit for $8000 on the road.

Only reason we didn't, the floor space wouldn't fit the kids stretchers the way we wanted.

I found the quality better than the other imported camper selling for the same money.

I'd buy one.

Ordered their Dingo FF a couple of weeks ago.

Yet to pick it up. But having done a comparison of other similarly priced, if not more expensive import models at the caravan show I bought it at, it looks like it's strapped together a lot better and made of sturdier parts.

Can't help you with the trailer side of things. We were at the showroom in Brissy the other month checking out the tents to replace our existing tent. looked to be very well made with a couple of features we liked. The down side was their tents were $1000 dearer than the other manufactures we were looking at. Nice tent though.
Cheers, Mike.

i liked their tents as did the other half we put one up at the show and i was quite impressed with how quick you could get the main section up without the annexe about 5 minutes never having done it before although the annexe would probably take a fair bit longer
