I'm only going to sleep in it at weekends so I don't need a full-on camper, so I will also look at plain Troopcarriers and put the extras in myself.

Basically i'd be interested in any one newer than 1996 for less that 17K around Perth.
Paul have you considered a cab chassis with hard cover on the rear.
Lots of 1-2 owner examples in your price range.
They are cheaper in the wheatbelt if your willing to travel 2-300klm
The cab chassis has the advantage of a removeable windscreen frame and roof which makes rust repair a breeze
Nearly all the troopys in the lower price ranges that I have seen have rust repair on the windscreen.

This is a link to under $20k cruisers in the auto trader.You can go back to the beginning and reenter the search criteria to broaden as the troopys are in 2 sections
