Looking at buying a hard floor camper (second hand) and would like to know if there is anything i need to look out for? as i have only ever camped in tents and swags. but now with 2 little ones it makes it a bit more harder to set up tents as they are running around so the next best thing to keep us out and about is a camper and a hard floor one looks like the best option as it is quick and easy to set up the main part.

Hard floor campers are pretty good, I looked at heaps of second hand ones before deciding on a Chinese one. Haven't regretted the desicion, mine is a mars camper bought in Brisbane.

Have you had any problems with yours. The one I'm looking at on Thursday is a second hand Chinese one
2 deep cycle battery
80 stainless water tank with pump
Gas bottles and cooker on slider draw
Led lights
Fuel Jerry's
I think it has the same suspension as yours Shep spring with 2 shocks

Only thing it is missing is slide fridge draw

Only issues I have had is a circuit breaker failed, water tank vent wasn't connected correctly and the winch got full of water and died.
The one I bought is available for $11k new.
Early this month I towed it around the plenty highway and also into the desert west of tennant creek. It's been a good thing.
Heading to the tanimi in a fortnight with it and I might start using it for work.

Biggest thing with Chinese campers is make sure it isn't a bolt on drawbar and that it has common bearings and seals. Mine is a ford seal with parallel bearings. Available everywhere

Do you have a link to where you bought it ?
I can't see all your photos because of stupid photo bucket
Didn't end up getting the one I said above still on the hunt.

Shep,
Do you tow the camper with the zook?

They have a factory in Brisbane but can't remember the address, will be on their web site.

It weighs 1000kg so unless you are using a GV any Suzuki 4wd is going to have a temporary driveline.
