paid for by.....

I don't know, maybe someone else can enlighten us? The article seemed to me to be an incontrovertible piece on 'what to do' when buying a used camper trailer. I struggle to see any commercial benefit, or have I missed the subtle propaganda?

The equivalent of 5 full page ad's, and I wouldn't be surprised if they got the brands in the pictures to chip in as well.

I think we are all aware that some magazines blatantly run some articles like infomercials. Some articles can be biased which I believe was what Bird was implying. In this case it had interesting points, but not exactly deeply insightful information.

To be fair, I have read it twice and I can't see an obvious promotion of brand or product within the article in this case.

Just wondering what you ended up getting or are you still searching for that perfect CT?

I'm in a similar situation at the moment and trying to find a FF CT to travel around Australia in.

Yes bought one and just in the middle of our 1st trip to Yorke Peninsula to iron out all the little teething problems. I'm 5x in so apologies for inebriated non-sensical stuff.

We bought a Skamper Kamper Dingo last month on a show deal.

I suppose we are satisfied with our purchase, not blown away. Though Yorke Peninsula is doing its best. (Camper is rocking in blustery weather).

Look if your in the market for a cheap forward fold I think you'd be hard pressed to do better than the Dingo.

If I knew how to post pics I'd post some! Beer going warm so putting phone down again. Later!!

I will 2nd this notion - bought a 2nd hand Dingo for a great price.

As a first camper trailer I am very satisfied for the money. I do see things that need improving but unfortunately it all costs $$.
