My Goldilocks trailer - Kimberley Kamper

[Romer]

We have to get all the KK's together for a trail run. That would be a cool photo op!

Agreed. That would be awesome

Still love mine. I was sad I had to leave it home when we did the maze last month. Others thought it would have been difficult to pull it through. Only real hard spot would have been Elephant Hill at night. Otherwise would have been fine.

Update:
I really liked the expandability of this Kamper and it has been great over the last three years with no issues.

Now that my daughters are older and they have significant others, some expandability with privacy was something I wanted to add. I also wanted a setup I could use on its own in addition to or in place of the Roof Top Tent

After a lot of research I settled on an RV4. I had the following Criteria

• Something that would fit well with my Kimberley under the canopy
• Needed to fit two large cots with room to move around
• Needed to be able to stand in it
• Need to be a quick setup
• Canvas for long life and warmth
• Expandability on it's own

So The RV4 on its own can be expanded with side panels and even connect two for a large indoor room

You can see the setup and tear down in the link

You can use the Oztent by itself for the quick setup

or add the side walls and front panel which adds 5-10 minutes to the setup

You can even further expand on it and connect a 2nd Oztent of any size to the setup and have a large multi room setup. I do like the options

So I brought it to Ouray so Sarah and her boyfriend could stay in the Oztent while I had plenty of room in the Kamper. I can fit 4 in the Kamper, but it becomes tight

The Oztent fit well right up under my canopy. I may add a Velcro strip later on to better seal it. It did rain, but no issues arose from the rain

The biggest issue people have with these Oztents is they are long and many have to put them on the roof rack. I was able to easily fit it inside my 100 series

It did take less than 30 seconds to setup and tear down, with maybe another minute to stake it in the back

I like the way Australians build things to last in the outback for months at a time.

I did also get the side panels so I could use this by itself or loan it to Sarah or Rachel to use

I forgot to update before the Ouray trip that I also bought new tires including the spare. Was a bit nervous with the 11 year old tread. Bought 3 BFG AT KO tires.

Did you stay with 31x10.50 15?

I am running on the same 11 year old Australian Goodyears like you had.

 

[Romer]

I did stay with the same size

 

[cruiserdan]

I will probably put new ones on next spring.

Holy mother of all trailer campers! Where the h3ll do I find one of these?!?!

 

[cruiserdan]

Once in a great while one will pop up for sale. The community is small and I do not know of one that is available at this time. They usually sell very quickly.

Was building out my own then I see this and my jaw drops with slobbering envy!

Hard to believe it's been 5 years. I don't use it as much as I would like, but it's always ready when I need it. I am glad I can keep it in the garage so I don't need to worry about wear due to weather. Of course these are built so tough, sitting outside wouldn't matter

Used it this past week in Moab right next to a unit 4 serial numbers apart from mine. Dan and I were talking about how fortunate we are to have these and we both intend on keeping them a long long time

Having the 100 series made a big difference. Able to maintain 55 MPH or greater towing on mtn passes. Course Dan gets 20MPG towing his with his 70 series.

Land Cruisers and Kimberley's, great combinations

Such cool trailers. Good to see you and chat for a few minutes in Moab Ken.

Likewise! I got to see the famous Boxrocket trailer and some cool tents and gear

Awesome thread!!! I didn't realize setups like this existed -- wow! Look to be ideal setup, especially in the dry, i.e. low humidity, states.

"Glamping" with the wife -- gotta have a/c here in south in summer!
