Anyone here used or bought gear through these guys off ebay?? And what sort of quality is their stuff??
I'm looking for an axle & suspension kit at the moment but also looking for other gear I'll be needing as well. Just thinking it'll probably be easier to order it all through the same place if they sell good gear.

yes, I've got some of their stuff.. it aint bad, but like everything buyer beware.
One of the forum blokes here worked there for a while.
FWIW, with suspension, buy quality over price, it will pay off 23897902349832749's in the long run.

Yeh I used their gear extensively when I built our CT. I didn't buy it from eBay though, I rang and emailed them direct and haggled a better deal ;)
The quality of everything I bought was fine and the guy I spoke to even turned me away from one of his products because it was "Chinese junk" to use his words.

I have bought Huntsman brakes a couple of times, pretty happy with them.

Bought some 'U' Bolts from them as spares for the CT. Havnt had to use them yet so can really only comment on price & postage which were both great.

I have used them. It's ok. Not great but not bad.

+1. We bought a stainless kitchen from them.
Pros - It's good, solid enough - it's a stainless kitchen with a sink, drawer and flip-over bench.
Cons - The welds weren't ground down, and where they've spot-welded hinges on, etc, the stainless has been scorched and just left that way. Where the edges were folded over, they've only been folded the once; if you reach in you can scratch yourself on the inside edge of the sheet. That sort of thing. You get it out of the box all excited, and you get a bit sad the closer you look at it. By comparison, the stainless X-Trail kitchen on our camper is far and away a much higher quality unit (that commands a much higher price).
That said, functionally it's good and it's solid enough. Once you get over the fact that it's a rough, cheap kitchen, you'll be quite happy with it. For the money that was paid, the owner is quite happy with it.
re: dealing with the staff - I found them quick to answer questions, and very helpful. I would certainly buy from them again.
Good luck!
