Ok: I am not quite ready to throw this out on the public forum/"big board" but I thought I would put this out to our club as I know a couple of you have been thinking about this type of camping/off-road trailer.
A couple of us are coming down home stretch with regard to making a decision about buying a couple Kimberly Kamper SportsRV model trailers. We have researched this to the ragged edge and are confident this is the best deal out there and certainly the best deal in recent memory. What has spurred this on are two things: The desire to have a more comfortable and usable trailer/camper when weather (wind, cold, rain) is a factor and the new KK SportsRV model is about 400lbs lighter than their other and previous models (wet it weighs about 2,250lbs; battery, water, propane included in the "wet" weight).
Anyway the real motivating factor right now is the low AU to US $ exchange rate. They can ship 2-trailers in one shipping container making it especially attractive to order in pairs. A nicely equipped KK SportsRV can be had on this special deal from KK for under $20K (currency flucuates daily) and can be had for less than $19K without a couple of the options I want.
Here's a link to the KK SportsRV model page:

I have mechanical drawings and very detailed Q&A from our e-mail and direct phone conversations with the owner of KK over the past couple weeks. If anyone is interested please send me a PM along with your e-mail address and I will get you all the info. I intend to make my final decision after attending SEMA next week but we've collected enough information to be qualified to be making a safe, sound decision at the present time. Its an opportune time to do this!
