We bought our Castaway Camper Trailer in June 2007 after comparing the various brands and models that were in display at the Brisbane Caravan & Camping show. What sold us on this particular brand was the Velcro floor which made for easy removal for cleaning the stainless steel kitchen box and the price was within our budget.

    In the first couple of months after taking delivery, the camper had to go back to the manufacture twice to correct manufacturing defects (wrong tent, wrong axle).

    I have done some additional modifications myself to make the camper easier to use such as adding a bracket to attach a bike carrier and tidying up the plumbing.

    We have been on a couple of weekend trips as well as a week long trip to Carnarvon Gorge in October 2007 and find that the setup is reasonably quick and simple. I prepare the camper after every trip so that it always ready to go at short notice.

    The hardest part now is finding free weekends to schedule in more trips.
