Default Re: The Camping Thread

Theres nothing wrong with the Chinese gear, the tent on my camper trailer is Chinese and has been through heavy winds and torrential rain and never let a drop of water in, had 3" running through the annex at Victor early last year but not a drop got into the sealed area.

When we went looking for a camper it was really only because the missus wouldn't sleep on the tent floor and with 4 kids the alternatives were beyond our budget for how often it would be used.
We hunted around for a while and then one day I found a bloke on Gumtree who was importing Chinese tents and fitting them to locally made 7x5 trailers for $3k, half the price of the cheapest alternative.
I went for a look and realised it was just a tent on a trailer with nothing else I thought it was a great idea as it meant I could fit it out my way so I grabbed it.
Bets place to go to compare brands and fitouts is the upcoming caravan and camping show, we go twice a year and go through everything on offer.
