Come across a handy link to help people on making some decisions on purchasing a Camper Trailer and maybe help answering a few questions.

Interesting but certainly not an exhaustive list of Australian Camper trailer manufactures.
To name a couple not included - Sar Major and Ultimate.
I imagine manufactures have to pay to be part of the AMCTG (a bit like food companies using the Heart Smart Tick)
Aussie Swag Campers are not on there either but there campers are totally Australian Made.
if its anything like the ' master builders or hia ' in Queensland , you don't have to great or anything , you just pay money for the privalge to be a member
Maybe a few of the members, Trackabout or Customline, can inform us of the membership process other than the engineering compliance cert.
Hi Swaggers,
AMCTG – Membership criteria
• Both trailer & tent must be manufactured (not assembled) in Australia
• Trailers must be built from Australian steel
• Canvas must be Australian made
• Tents must be actually sewn in Australia (not Australian canvas sent to China to be sewn)
• Trailers must be fully ADR compliant
• Members must supply list of ADR compliance numbers for all lights, reflectors, hitches, etc used
• Trailers must have a full Engineering Certificate
• Members are audited on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the above

Thanks Rod, so it doesn't cost anything to be a member?

Hi D4D,
It does cost to be a member.
But that money goes towards the running of the AMCTG, audit cost, advertising, CSIRO and RMIT testing of imported canvas and products.
It is a non-profit organisation.

Jayco campers would appear to meet the criteria? All oz manufactured and built?
Certain to be a hard pill to swallow for some.....
