Pretty slick indeedy. :cheers:
 
Nice photos. Did you take that rig over SOB hill and Elephant Hill or go back out through Beef Basin and Cottonwood?


Yes, through SOB hill, E-hill - no problemo. Drove down E-hill like normal and didn't have to back down. It's easy to jack knife this thing beyond 90* if needed.

used from a private owner in Denver. They can be bought brand new from Canada which is where this thing came from I guess.
 
You have similar trailers built right here in the US of A. http://www.adventuretrailers.com/ and http://www.campausa.com/

Safari trailers seems more in line with Adventure trailers. They're both superbly durable from what I can see online.

Ok, here's my personal opinion so take it for what it's worth. My requirements were simple: lightweight, narrow and a full size tent that can be reached w/o a ladder. Full size tents (edit: hard floor)allow the users to stay inside in inclement weather and sit comfortably around a table and play cards. Also, you can change clothes like normal human beings, standing up. We have to drag around a pack N play so the Kamparoo fit the bill quite nicely; we can sleep on the bed and the PNP can be setup on the floor plus the two dogs. The Kamparoo weighs in at 1300 lbs fully wet and loaded. The roof deck is geared to haul extra stuff and has a capacity of 400 lbs. I don't see me carrying that kind of weight on top but to each his own. The PO had an ATV on it!

Good luck with your search. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Campomatic have been making camping trailers here in QLd for almost 20 years that I know of.
They are one of the best and strongest "Hard Floor" campers in OZ.

Here is their website
http://www.campomatic.com.au/

The only downside is that storage space is limited compared to the soft floor campers but they are easier and faster to deploy and will always be dry no matter how hard it rains.

The campomatic started the slide out kitchen craze and were and still are on of the best inovators of the industry. They ar built like the perverbial Brick outhouse I dont think you could break one even if you tried.

No I dont work for them but I do like em!! Just could not afford one so I went the soft floor route.

Impressive. I haven't been to Elephant Hill since the late '80s, but back then I drove over it every week all summer. When we crossed it from the south (on the way out from the Needles) you had to pull in and back up before climbing "scout slot" on the south side of the hill. I don't remember ever having to back down anywhere when heading north.
We also used to have to back up through the top part of SOB since our FJ55s couldn't make the turn (there was a deep hole before a big rock on the inside of the turn). We just did not have the clearance.
 
The two areas you mentioned have been "tamed to the max" these days it seems.
