Hi all I am looking for a trak shak and would like to call them and see if they can send me the kids retreat do under the 2nd bed. One I am considering doesn't have one. Can't find them on a google search

Not at that address anymore. They shared premises (and possibly management/owners) with a stage lighting company whose name escapes me right now. This business has relocated to Silverwater into I think Fariola St.

I sold my Trak Shak about 4 years ago but I copied it and had Nans Tarps at Silverwater make one up for half the cost TrakShak wanted I also added another screen on the long side.

Their website seems to have been down for a few weeks. Were open mid jan as I did buy some spare parts. Staff member mentioned others were on holiday.

Seems a bit strange as their campomatic website is still up http://www.campomatic.com.au (http://www.campomatic.com.au)

They were hopeless to deal with. From what I understand they were winding down the Trak Shak business as it had been run into the ground. When I paid for mine and waited 18 months for it to be delivered only to find all of the stainless steel parts had been substituted for grey painted mild steel, not even Gal. About five people in a similar situation came forward that had been stalled regarding delivery. Interestingly we were all told different parts were the cause of the hold up, kitchens, suspensions arms, hitches etc etc. what appeared to us to be happening was that they would take a deposit (in my case $6k) and then stall until they had enough orders to make it economical to get a shipment from China. In most cases I am aware of people we're stalled 9months to a year.
In the end we all took them to task and got deposits back etc. in my case after some effort it was a full refund of $32k.
The campers had so much potential and were a great thing until the quality was taken out of them for a few extra $$$ in the companies pocket.

That's a real pity. The original owner was a pleasure to deal with, and they were built in AU.

Seeing as I might have to buy some bits and pieces soon I gave them a call using the number on the Campomatic website.
They said they are still there at Rydalmere and its a problem with the website.

I did a drive by of the Campomatic premises this morning as listed above and there were two new Trak Shaks out the front.

I was in the market for one of these late last year and was talking to TS via email. They claimed they had one unit ready to go but wanted $3500 to freight to WA. Luckily I found a 2013 model for sale in WA. I'm glad I didnt drop a deposit on a new one to find the company go under. Late in December the website host had a message up on their site saying the account was suspended. I found this out as when RAC went to insure mine and they went searching and couldn't find the site. So I assumed thay had gone belly up...

Trak shak website back up... Still showing older model though?
