Anybody seen the trailer yet , all I casn see is the tent so far . If it sounds to good to be true , buy it before some other mug is ripped off :cheers: If you cant se it open walk no RUN :cheers:
-
I don't think the trailer is included Jamie. Looks like it's just the tent for sale to me.

There's a note at the bottom of the add.
NOTE - THIS AUCTION IS FOR A RED/LIGHT GREY CAMPER (TRAILER NOT INCLUDED)

It is best to check a couple of things with the tent 1/. the height measurement of the bed section(trailer top) above the soft tent floor, for you don't want it to be too short, as it will not sit properly on the ground and may tear when you peg it down. 2/. the reinforced peg holes surrounding the tent, some manufactures do not inclose them in the soft floor, they use D tie down points sewn onto the floor which will tear away from the floor and cause holes.

not many pictures to base you decision on. Looks alot like just bring them in without putting them up
-
As Morgue said check the hieght of the sleeping area & the drop from the bed to the ground . That will determin the height of the trailer you can put it on . Not muchj chop if you want Off Road with !7in wheels if the tent only suited to 13 in on box trailer . :cheers:

The seller has more listed on eBay (including one "buy it now or best offer" with 26 days to go).
I would contact the seller and ask to see the tent in person.
If you are happy with the quality you might be able to directly negotiate a good 'cash' price (if you negotiate the sale outside of eBay the sellers don't have to pay eBay fees and are often willing to take a cheaper 'cash' price).
If your not happy - walk away (obviously) ;D

I agree definetely see the camper in the flesh before shelling out for one. Glossy pictures always look great.

with these china imported trailers and tents you get what you pay for i dont mind them myself because i fix and repair campers for a living and they keep me busy the only real problem with these campers is once you buy them 90% of the time you are on your own when somthing goes wrong and it will trust me

well.. i missed out on the Craigs Camper... and about 15 auctions since then ..
but finally last night i won the an auction!... and it wasn't a Craigs Camper.
I've ended up with a unit from EzyTrail ... got if for $1,300 ($1,400 delivered).

anyyone got any issues with same type of camper ?
-
I wonder if they chose the name "Craigs Campers" because is sounded the most fair dinkum Australian name....? ;D
-
