G'day...and confusion reigns about what to buy

[bopoulos]

Hi all,
I'm Mr bopoulos. Been lurking about for a while now and thought I would introduce myself.
I was looking at purchasing a CT earlier this year then gave up but I have the bug again. I'm hoping the collective expertise on this forum will help me make the right decision.
My needs at the moment are limited for what I will use it for. Mainly overnight trips over the weekends and possibly a few days or more during the Christmas and Easter break. But that may change in future.
My budget is limited, under 5K and I am looking at second hand trailers but have considered something like an MDC. I know it is a bit of a minefield with the cheaper trailers but that is all I can get at the moment.

There seems to be plenty of second hand trailers around at the moment but it is a matter of getting to see them. The other main thing that I need is a trailer that I can set up by myself as it is only me and the kids.
Is it ok to post links of some I have in mind that are on places like Gumtree etc?
There is currently an 2010 Aussie Camper Aussie Jays with XTRAIL tent available for under 5k I like the look of.
sigh...decisions decisions...lol

Thanks D4D.
I'll start with the Aussie Jays. But there are plenty more around at similar prices.
One thing I should mention is that I am not the handy type so I really cant do much work on anything I get if it needs anything.

Of those 2 I'd prefer the Aussie Jays due to it being a known brand with a good reputation vs. unknown.
