G'day all,
first post but been browsing a while.
Just got out of a jayco eagle and a windsor rapid and into one of those "Lightweight Camper Trailers" that used to be built in Ballina and then Sydney somewhere. Ive got the original brochures and pricelist. Its the type that the beds foldout from the sides, similar to the Windsor Rapid and Jayco expanda - but in canvas  :laugh:
Hail from the Kiama area south of sydney.
Cheers,
A

Hi there

I read you have the Lightweight Camper Trailer. I actually wanted one of those years ago but somehow went down a different path. It's a pity they still aren't in business. I think the design is great.

I still have the brochure floating around from a mail inquiry years ago.

Price at the time was pretty good too.

Would like to see some pictures up.....

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome all,
yeah, its a great spot where we are, not actually in Kiama but can spit to Minnamurra river.
And the rain, well dont talk about that. Our house insurance has just gone up because of some supposed new flood mapping that says we are in a flood zone !I mowed the lawn yesterday arvo and Goulburn and Cooma are flooded ! Now tell me who's in the flood zone !
I'll put some pics up of the "Lightweight Camper Trailer" for those who are wondering about them. If I work out how to do it I'd also like to post a video showing how quick she goes up. Any ideas on how to do that ?
cheers,
A

Hi Aza, welcome to My Swag. I would also be interested in seeing some photos.
What do you use to tow it with?
