Castle Campers Brisbane

[levinge]

Okay anyone have any info good or bad about these campers.

looking into one and for the price they seem quite good, especially the King sized mattress and the current price...

Looks like the same tents as http://www.marketdirectcampers.com.a...d=55&Itemid=66 but the trailers look slightly different

[levinge]

I'd say thay are almost identical, trailers are the only difference..

Hi Levinge

I've got one. Only bought it prior to Easter, so only been used the once, but I'm very happy with it. Rained over Easter but with a tarp over, we had no problems.

I got the Landcruiser option and got them to fit wider tyres, but nothing was a problem for them. Found Darren to be good to deal with.

My trailer is from Nathan trailers. I thought I'd buy my own trailer and then put a top on it, but couldn't get a deal done for the same price as the complete set up.

Feel free to ask me anymore questions.

Regards

Justin

A couple of questions for you

Quality of the tent fabric??

zip quality??

how easy was it to set up??

quality of the swing out kitchen??

How easy was it to get into the sleeping area??

Is it a true King Size bed??

Quality of trailer build including suspension??

How long did it take from order to collection??

Thats all I can think of for now...Thanks for taking the time..

Hi
Can you tell me how high off the ground they are at the back? Look quite low.

How much are you looking at and do they have a web site?

Thanks
Ronnie

whats the price?
i bought a lifestyle camper in oct 2008, used it first time last week.
loved it.

The Deluxe and Super Deluxe models are both $5495. they look pretty decent for a camper that will get used a couple of times a year. I'd look at a mor expensive one if I was travelling around Aust for a while, but I think it may suit my needs just right, for now...

Not sure if the "quote bit" worked - so hopefully this post doesn't look stupid..

I felt the quality of the tent and zip was fine. First time I set it up took me forever, but I spent a heap of time marking poles, colour coding etc. Second time (Easter) it went up quite easily. I did buy a couple of spreader poles as I didn't feel it sat as "tight" as I would have liked, but the ground was uneven.

Didn't get the kitchen.

It was easy to get into the sleeping area as it comes with a ladder. The "king size" bed did give the wife a few headaches... A fitted king size sheet was still too small ?? Only just, but enought to be painful.

Good quality trailer (Nathan trailers North Brisbane). As for suspension, I got the "Landcrusier upgrade" for $500. I'm no suspension expert so only assume it's fine to load up and drag through the scrub..

Order to collection was only about 2 weeks.

They are based at Cleveland and will set them up on the weekends (that's what they did for me anyway) - so you can see the quality of the canvas / trailers etc. My trailer is in Toowoomba until after this weekend, but you'd be welcome to have a look at it if you want. I'm at Wello Point - flick me an email at justin@ptpartners.net.au.

Hope this is some help.

You are right - the picture makes it look quite low - but mine isn't. Can't measure it for you until after the weekend, but I did some semi serious offroad work over Easter and the clearance is fine.

Sorry Levinge - just realised you were in Townsville - makes it a bit hard to come and have a look !!!!

[levinge]

Not wrong, bit of a distance to look but thanks for the thought anyway.

YOu have answered most of my questions, thanks for taking the time...
