This video is from the USA factory production facility. It gives a good overview of what goes into making a popup camper.
You will notice there are some differences in the US design, like how the door is fitted in the final stage of the set up. Overall, I think Australia holds the lead in the design and manufacture of these campers. If you own one, you’ll know how well designed they are. If you own a caravan or tent trailer you can also appreciate that the quality of your equipment has come as a result of the competitive market and high standards that large manufacturers like Jayco, Goldstream, Coromal, provide in their products. They have in many ways set a bench-mark for camping equipment. It’s all good for anyone involved in camping in Australia.
For all those considering selling their camper, this is the “secret weapon” you need for selling successfully!
“Sell Your Camper Fast for the Best Price” contains the most valuable information available for anyone considering selling their camper trailer, caravan, motor home or camper van. It’s not just about how to promote your camper, there is a complete run down on the most effective places to advertise and a step-by-step strategy that results in consistently high success rates, with Sellers often achieving prices at or above their full asking price.
You know we’ve been running this survey on the website that asks how many times a year people use their camper?
Well you’ll be amazed to know 100% of respondents said “once every 3 months”!
I was flabagasted to learn that people are not getting their money’s worth out of their camper and only using it 4 times a year. (Isn’t that interesting from a buyers perspective?)
I presume this is because they are possibly too busy or only take time off during school holiday periods. Regardless, if you own a camper, you need to get out and use it, and enjoy more time off….right? Read more »
Enjoy these quick tips for keeping ants and other crawly bugs out of the camper.
It may not be the only way to prevent ant infestations, but it certainly is an excellent first stage preventative measure in the process of keeping your camper bug free. Other things you can do to keep bugs out include these:
Spray the parts of the camper which contact the ground, with surface spray to prevent crawling insects climbing in from ground areas;
Sweep out food crumbs daily while the camper is in use;
Wash all plates and utensils immediately after use and don’t store dirty items or uncovered food items on the benchtops;
Keep the camper kitchen clean using a “cleaning spray” on all surfaces after use;
Owning a new camper trailer really can be a paradox.
Often it’s just another of those added responsibilities we seem to take on, with our already over stressed lifestyles in a bid to get some free time to relax and enjoy a more simplified existence!
That’s why I suggest buying USED rather than NEW when it comes to camper trailers, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Like most things new, you loose a large portion of the resale value the moment you take ownership. At least with a Used Camper you have less to loose and more to gain!
Don’t dispair, there will always be an ongoing supply of good quality used campers for sale, like those who purchase new then decide to sell in 12 months or find they rarely use their camper trailer, caravan or campervan, and decide to sell it when it’s couple of years older. In both cases the Camper would likely be in great condition. I know of many cases where people have purchased under these conditions.
