Camper trailer - heart or head decision

[Tim - Stratford]

What two campers? Then we can make a REALLY informed decision....

Not falling for THAT one.....

Mark.. Stuff the $$$ get the one that gives you fat every time you walk in the shed

I thought the one that would do that doesn't fit in the shed ?. Go with the heart, no regrets

Not falling for THAT one.....

Are you looking at a camper trailer or a hybrid like the AOR Eclipse you mentioned in another thread?
Only once you work out want you really want, can you decide.

[Coiled]

The head decision is the important one but the heart is what will make it a long term purchase.

These aren't a tool for a tradesman. It is a pastime we are all passionate about. If you can afford it get the one that ticks the heart box and don't not tick the box on the last $100 option. If you are anything like me that pennywise pound foolish attitude will eat at you and bug you until you move it on for what you really wanted.

Let me help you here Mark ol' boy.

Coin - both within budget but the heart one is more expensive enough to make you think.

It's only friggin money.

The Head one will fit in the shed, the Heart one won't. Will need some type of external coverage.

Perfect excuse to get a bigger shed, sounds like a win-win to me.

The head one weighs less (Tare and towball) than the heart one. But both can be lived with.

Perfect excuse to give the Paj to Olivia and upgrade to a cruiser.  Craig would recommend a 200 series at least.

The head one has a more efficient 12v usage setup for hot water/heater.

Sounds like you need a more efficient 12V system, I know someone who can help you with that.

The head one has an easier to lift top. But both useable.

Time to start working out, you'll be able to lift it with one finger in no time.

The heart one has a nicer finish, look,  and nicer finished drawers, nicer kitchen layout, internal layout, nicer pantry etc. but both are acceptable.

BLING!!

The more I think and talk about it, and go through my spreadsheet, the more I think the heart is going to win.

Put the spreadsheet aside, and ask Kerry

If the price tags and quality were reversed, which one would you go for?

Go with the heart! Otherwise you might always feel that you settled for second best...

You guys just aren't any help at all..... Apart from knowing how to get me into trouble..

I will have to return the favour some time...

[Redcherokee]

You still haven't said what Kerry wants. 

Her call as much as yours.  You BOTH need to love what you get, and accept the compromises that are involved (no camper is perfect for all situations).

[Ratbag]

^ Have to agree  with that sentiment.

Believe me, Kerrys sentiments are VERY much involved.

I believe you Mark......

Stop mucking around, buy em both, try them out then give me the one you don't like
