Unsafe Camper Trailers

Many of these sellers are predators taking advantage of various importation loopholes to bring in illegal and unsafe camper trailers.
Some are brought in as ‘garden tubs’ – which conveniently house axles and wheels, and will be assembled in a suburban warehouse and sold as ‘Australian built’. Some of them will simply import the cheapest producUnsafe Camper Trailerst available with no regard for Australian Design Rules, and sell it as an offroad camper.

    One thing is for sure. A poorly made trailer is going to show it’s faults at the worst possible time. Usually in the middle of nowhere after taking a battering along a couple of hundred, corrugated, kilometres of gravel.

    Hi,

    I was looking to buy a Leasure Matters camper through the Perth dealer.
    Can anyone tell me if the quality has got better in recent times or are things still in a bad way.

    Thanks.
    Steve

    Just a quick one Steve. I brought through the Perth dealer (early 2014. Product was crap, after sales service in Perth was crap. I imagine you have already moved on and brought a trailer, but if anyone else is asking the same question, this is my answer.
