Camprite Knockoff

[Burnsy]

I guess this was always in the making but I shed a tear today at a local Ag show when I saw that someone has finally knocked off the camprite with what I suspect are import trailers .  Does not look like they have gone to any length to hide the fact and it is pretty much a direct copy.

On a side note, their dual axle tipping trailer was a nice unit.

I know of a friend's son who thought he had found on trading post a bargain Track Shack camper that the current owner supposively won as a prize, Turns out when he check the serial no with track shack it turns out to be a Chinese Knock off.
buyer beware

Found this just now for anyone that's interested http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/salisbury-south/camper-trailers/new-eagle-cheyenne-hard-floor-camper/1045788437

I think I would rather the real deal to be honest if that's the price.

Two ads from same seller, one a "Dealer New" ad and another "Private Seller" selling a second hand one due to "Ill health"

Love that you wore your suit camping.

No affiliation, but from what I can gather Eagle Campers have quite a good reputation here in SA.  I've spoken with them at a couple of camping shows and they have been very up front with the gear that they are selling.  No idea about this particular model, but I'm guessing they have identified a market opening.

Guess its why I read in the news today the the Chinese Goverment has decided to demolish their replica of the s
Sphinx.

guess they dont want to be known as a population of copiers.

I can't comment on their camper trailers, but I do own a 7'x5' galvanised box trailer from Eagle trailers in Adelaide.
I wanted a small trailer for the farm and purchased it about 18 months ago.
Extremely well built bit of gear, eye to eye suspension, ALKO breaks , it literally is built like a brick sh!t house.

I am very impressed with this trailer.

It seems to be the way of the world now days. A Oz camper company does all the hard yards, R&D etc and gets a product on the market at maybe a slightly high price and then some other prick of a mob just copies it and undercuts them. Nearly all companies that sell imports from China are guilty of it, no names or pack drill because they can't cop the criticism. It gets right up my nose.

Not sure why you guys are surprised and upset. The cheaper chinese knockoffs have turned the lower priced camper market on its head and now there coming for the higher priced market. 
All the leading Australian camper trailer manufactures such as KK, Aussie Swag, AOC and Camprite etc in the higher priced market should be very afraid.
We all want the Australian made quality without the Australian made price tag, myself included.
Once these Chinese camper manufactures get on top of the its quality control, look out.
Everybody in the late 80's would've bought a Australian Holden or ford over a Jap crap Toyota..... Or even a Hyundai in the early 90's
Not now.......
The same will happen with the Camper trailer industry......eventually.

Bought my First Car in 1972
A Toyota Coupe.  Still love that car.
Even if it was under-powered and had seats for midgets.

[homebuilt]

yeah im with CAMPA,china's quality control has turned it up 100%in the last few years,i mean u still get ur hit n miss items in a run but across the board the failing china parts are becoming less and there prices aren't reflective of this,which is great for our aussie made quality gear in the future which will have no choice but to bring the prices down down!
