CAMPING – CAMPER TRAILERS
In this section we assess the different camping options available. Your chosen style of camping can affect what vehicle you purchase and what other gear you need. We can’t keep up with the myriad brands and models now available, so we’ve chosen representative trailers.
MDC Walk-Through
Market Direct Campers arrived on the scene in a similar way to that of other low-priced camper trailer importers, but MDC has developed new models and incorporated more local kit.
Kimberley Kamper Platinum
The highest-specified camper trailer in Outback Travel Australia’s Camper Trailer Torture Test was Kimberley’s Kamper Platinum edition and it also carried the highest price tag, with a RRP of $50,660. We lived with the Platinum model for a month and assessed whether it was worth the asking price.
Cub Brumby
Cub popularised the flip-over, hard-floor camper design and now has a host of imitators. The Brumby is a true go-anywhere camper, as our testing has shown.
Challenge Meridian
Challenge soft-floor campers are built around a basic trailer platform, to which a long list of equipment and options can be added, so it’s possible to customise your trailer to best suit your needs.
Camper Trailer Torture Test
We started organising the OTA Camper Trailer Torture Test almost a year before and we chose a variety of off-road camper trailers for the final six. We towed with two Pajeros, two Challengers and two Tritons.
