    Should I do it?

    looking at a year old one tomorrow

    Australia’s best luxury off-road camper trailers boasting durability & comfort. Ultimate Campers providing the best Australian off-road adventures for 25 years!



    a 30 day pole might be a bit optomistic seeing as I'm looking at it tomorrow. But I value your opinions.

    Wow, they look awesome! I love their style and features, bloody good looking bit of kit.

    Assuming you still have your old one, will this one do much more than your current one will? Is there anything about your current one you really don't like? How much use does your old one get?

    I personally couldn't justify upgrading from my $6k jobby as she is super strong and does everything I need (not necessarily all I want though).

    I would love to get one myself but my missus would kill me if I got that before our half smashed kitchen was replaced haha!

    So yes, get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Yeah still have the caver trailer. Will the ulti do more, probably not. Infact, on top of the purchase I will need to spend a fortune getting a front annex. I couldn't live without a front annex. When out doors, I like to live out doors. If I didn't, I'd buy a caravan

      And therein lies my dilema. The caver trailer doesn't get enough use. However, the ulti will be a superior travelling machine especially in inclement weather. And that, coupled with set up time is the only thing I can fault with the caver trailer. Being a soft floor, they do take some time to set up. Gets a bit dreary for longer trips away, short stays, like touring. But for weekends away in reasonable weather, the caver trailer, like your 6K jobbie is tops.

      Oh well, I'll have a look tomorrow and if it fits the bill, I might be broke once again

          Go for it. Nothing more tedious than spending ages setting up or worse taking down in bad weather. A quick set-up is a godsend, luxury a bonus. These IMO are so much better than a Kimberly Kamper. Although an Ultimate would be nice if I won the lottery. LOL.

            yeah i think the hardfloor to let you set up easily in any weather or on rocky/uneven ground is the only thing i wish my camper had.

              Well 70% said I should do it. So I negotiated an unbelievable deal and I'm now in the Ulti club.

              Happy days

              Shane.

                      Congrats Shane. Very nice looking camper.
                      You're gonna need a bigger garage to house all these toys!
                      Or are you just filling the vacant spot left behind by your boat?

                        Thanks Dan. The boat paid for the Ulti. Hopefully the caver trailer will pay for the Ulti mods

                        And the ulti will fill the garage. I just hope I can get the bike in there as well. Time will tell.
