Great sight! Good effort everyone.

I'm new to the Forum and camper trailers. I'm interested in soft floors. There are so many out there.
My Customs and Finance Minister has said $8000 max.

Any suggestions on what's good and what's not??

One other thing, I'm from Kalgoorlie,WA so expect sur charge for freight.

Thx

Hi and welcome, you are sure to get lots of advice...  Friends just bought a Mars offroad fully galvanised trailer with huge tent areas etc for around that price.  Have had to do a little work to it in terms of water tanks connections that leaked, etc but pretty minor.  Made with ripstop canvas...

Welcome to the forum, I would watch the second hand market with a $8000 budget you will find a great unit.

G'day & Welcome Grant.

What sort of camping are you into and how many folks do you need to house in the camper?

I've noticed some second hand good units for sale in SA recently, so you might get lucky on transport costs. My advice is go for a quality second hand camper rather than a new(er) imported trailer.

Just seen an ad on a Kalgoorlie website.
A bloke is selling a GIC camper trailer for $8600. Only thing it does't have is a bash plate.
What do folks think?

G'day Grant, welcome to the forum. Plenty of information on here regarding soft floors around your budget.

Remember, new is not always best...better to spend the same amount on a 2nd hand decent camper, then to spend heaps on a chinese cheapy.  Not that I'm bagging chinese cheapies, I own one myself.

Have Fun

Gidday Grant,

Welcome to the CT circus. Just make sure you have good look around before settling on the first one that comes up. You need to make sure it ticks all the boxes, obviously with budget limit being  :cup:

There are always good 2nd hand CT's on this site and plenty on Trading Post, RVPoint and Camper Trader.org

Good luck and don't forget when you get the new member of the family remember :worthles:

Cheers Balfang  :cheers:
