Finally bought one!

[Trolsy_N_Trailer]

Hey guys, my name is Anthony and I'm  to the forum. I have been an avid 4x4er for years, starting in a Jackaroo and progressing my way through a bunch of 4x4's including a hilux, 80 series cruiser, GU Coil cab and now own a GU wagon. I have always "tented" it but got sick of rocking up to a campsite with my mates and being last to have set up. They would have their camper trailer set up and enjoying a cold beer whilst I was still hammering pegs into the ground and fumbling with those stupid bendy tent poles. Anyway I ended up putting a deposit on a brand spanker Offroad deluxe camper from MDC. Its a budget trailer but is built surprisingly well. I ordered a few extra's with it and cant wait to take delivery. I know its only at the cheaper end of the camper trailer scale so I'm not expecting it to be perfect. But I think its going to be a good platform to which I can add some improvements and modifications.

Hey Anthony- I just brought a MDC T BoxV2 on Friday and after building several trailers and horse floats over the years I have found the build/weld quality to be bloody good on mine. I was reluctant to post on these forums after reading a lot of label bashing and reading that a lot of others are well over my price/budget but I am happy with the fact that my family can now go camping with a bit more room and a few luxuries.

Welcome mate.

[Trolsy_N_Trailer]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I look forward to learning and sharing some experiences/knowledge on this forum. The camper is supposed to be ready this week. If I cant find time to pick it up through the week, I'll be heading there on Saturday morning. I can see a weekend of canvas seasoning and list making going on hehe. Exciting times ahead!

I have read a  few bad reports on them too, but from what I can tell most were around 08-09 and not much in between. It seems they have lifted their quality. I have heard through the grapevine ( unsure of truth ) that the trailers were originally a full import but are now built in sydney?

[BigJules]

G'day & Welcome.

If you're anyway on the East coast seasoning the canvas could be free and easy for a while  , with all the rain we're having.

G'day & Welcome.

I believe there is a camper to suit every budget. The main thing is that it gets you to where you are going and home again.

I see budget trailers as a Home Handy Mans delight. You can customize it to what you want when you can afford it. and there is nothing wrong with that. I think that's better then spending 40K+ on a CT your too scared to use or get scratched.

The main thing is that you are getting out there.

welcome got to start some where and keep addiing and adding

Hi Anthony, welcome to My Swag.
As others have said, nothing wrong with budget. We all have one, and doing mods. can be as much fun as camping.

The day hath cometh! I picked her up today. Unfortunately its miserable weather and I have been advised against opening it up in constant rain before it has been seasoned. So I have already started on an LED strip light project!

[Swannie]

looks the good mate.

When the rain stops set it up and get those pics up
