They were very lucky to survive.
You will have to look it up, it wouldn't let me post a link.

It could happen to any in this day and age but does anyone know the make of the camper?

What a horrible initiation to camping for the family. So lucky they all escaped without physical injury. Hopefully they are insured!

Time to ID the camper, that front box in the stoneguard is pretty distinctive.

A few have been saying Kimberley, but they have different kitchen configuration and no front stabiliser legs.

I reckon it's a ezytrail as my mate has a black series and the wheels are different. But it's hard to tell tbh as I reckon they are all made the same except the colors it's paintedI reckon it a Rucky Duck as my mate has one and it has tyres on the rims.

Cant really shame the manufacturer when no one knows the factsjust hope they are already on their way to investigate it.... hahahahhahahhah!!! as if they would

My bet is Mars roverthe drawer, front box, and whole design looks the same as all of the Chinese campers. the only way to tell is to have a look at that compliance plate, or give rainbow beach towing a call. :cheers:

All made in the same downtown Shanghai factory
Some of the misleading advertising that one three letter company do on their Facebook page is poor
"Made in xyz owned factories"

This is really surprising considering the R&D that goes into these things, and the level of knowledge that those manufacturers have about actually using a camper ::) or 12V
