Ultimate's new CT

We've got an ulty (and love it), but that is (to quote arnie) "one ugly mother$($($("

I actually think the slide out rear is a good idea but they would be better trying to incorporate the slide out rear into the fold over so as to fit two double beds inside. It looks good inside if it is aiming at the caravan crossover market but that external shape is hideous.

It certainly looks interesting. It's a shame the brochure doesnt provide some pictures of the ensuite, bunk beds, storage etc and a diagram of the layout like on caravans would be useful. I reckon I'd want a window in the roof of the bed area as that's what I love about ulti - the bright light. I wonder if you can sit up in bed too?

Wow the market is getting interesting with the launch of Kimberley's new caravan soon too.

Hmm at first look i thought it looked ok
When we bought the Topaz we looked at the ultimate but having so much canvas just like our old swan didn't solve the problem
This one has some good features optional bunks, bed that slides out and you don't have to make it every night lots of storage and not that heavy at 1300kg and only 95kg ball weight

But at over 100k they have got to be joking right

Dammmmmmmm at that price the thing better make me my dinner, buy me a cold beer at the end of the day and massage my aching feet after hiking about all day, oh sorry I forgot that's what I have a wife for..................

I'd rather have the ugly ulty!

dazzawhipple · April 19, 2012, 04:32:33 AM

It's a rather ugly thing

apsilon · April 19, 2012, 03:30:14 PM

Looks like an over sized tinny flipped upside down and painted white.

Well that wasn't that useful! Still no real good pics of the inside. Oh well, looks as though I'll keep my 100odd grand!

What's with that video 2min 41 of it is Michael's poor presentation skills! Than it's an outside video of testing & then brochure shots. I hope there is something better planned.

Lou - who loves her ultimate just the way it is

I think it is a comment on the status symbol of a 100k camper and owning something suiatable in the status ranks to tow it with.

WilSurf · April 20, 2012, 11:37:34 AM

Well, I have a Lexus but I can't afford this CT.

Wortho · April 20, 2012, 07:20:32 PM

And I have a 97 Landrover Discovery worth 5k pulling an Ulti Elite worth 50k

sako · April 22, 2012, 08:17:51 AM

Has anyone managed to see one in the flesh?

It just looks like a more streamlined Jayco. And I'm not sure streamlining a camper really makes that much difference behind a boxy 4WD anyway. Better off being more square to get the max storage space.

Jon · April 22, 2012, 09:30:11 AM

I can understand everyones horror at breaking the 6figure price tag for a camper, BUT

when you analyse the construction type, the research, tooling and design that has gone into it and the extremely close ties to commercial fibreglass boat building, the price comes home as comparable to sports cruisers with the same fitout.
Go to boatsales.com.au and price up a sports cruiser with similar fitout , new, and you will not get change from 150k. But a boat is a prestige luxury toy you say?
Then what is this Ultimate?
It is clearly designed at the people tossing around the idea of a 100k offroad van but dont want the weight.

This is not saying I want one, which I dont. My point is that we at Myswag are in general, a market demographic sector with different budget constraints to where this is aimed.

I actually think it looks ok, I have seen some awful looking boxes with fairings out there, but this isnt one of them, at least the shape flows.
If you want military style tough guy looks, buy a Conquerer or get Rockman to build you a camper.

Flame on.

Trackaprado · April 22, 2012, 09:41:30 AM

Yeh but at least a sports boat looks nice. Anyway you look at this it is 100k worth of ugly
