Anyone own or have used a Drover?
« on: July 04, 2010, 05:41:05 PM »
Hello,

Just been looking at the Drover Campers (Not the CUB kind). There is a website but doesn't show a great deal - would like personal imput.

Thank you

Here's me thinking you meant the rebadged Suzuki that Holden flogged for a few years..great little 4wby.

Sorry, haven't heard of that brand of CT. Where and when were they made?

Seeking some info as looking at a franchise in WA. They are from Maroochydore Qld. Think they originated in 2005.

We hadn't heard about these campers either - we just thought someone on here may have one.

Their just another import trailer and tent company
you can't be Aussie steel
Before i would enter into any franchise i would really do some research
to make sure you will get the sales
and here would be a good place to start
the question you need to ask is how many swaggers would buy a imported camper
and how many would prefer Aussie built

myself
Aussie built

DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER BECOMING AN AGENT
Drover Campers is an absolute scam.
Ted Stewart sold us an "agency" with 3 camper trailers  to be delivered in July. No trailers have been supplied & he cannot even prove any orders exist.
We are currently going through the courts to prevent him doing this to others.
If you would like to contact me my e-mail is benjardamin@yahoo.com.au

Hi Brightspark,

Could you email me the contact details or refer the person burnt by Drover campers to this post.
I have some very interesting info for them.
I would also be interested in finding out where you saw the imported trailer.

Hi Bart4,

Sorry to here about your Camper trailer tent.
Ted Stewart / Drover Campers / Rhino Campers are an absolute Joke and a disgrace to the camper trailer industry. I have all his details if you need to track him down.
My email address is benjardamin@yahoo.com.au
