Hi

The title pretty much says it all - I was looking for a basic camping shell, no pop-ups (specially after nearly scalping myself in one at the Caravan Show at Rose Hill), no flush toilets or full bathroom, just basic like a late '60's-70's van. No one seems to be offering anything like that in Oz as new. And I was looking to pay a lot less than $60K which seems to be price range for anything that's not a tent on a box trailer.

So while floundering about on the 'Net I saw this lot on Gumtree and though that their Toy Hauler might be what I want. But I remember seeing a few small manufacturers in the past being run by incompetent or dishonest owners, so I wondered if anyone had past dealings with Trailers2LAST?

Well I have a '70's van (still) but with smaller low powered cars I needed something different and like you just wanted a place to sleep and to cook.
My solution was to get teardrop and was in the process of building one when I saw one being sold so bit the bullet and bought it. Very nice to use and not much heavier than a box trailer and can be towed with a small sedan (think Hyundai or similar). Best move ever :D

My major use of this will be for around a week in April, which in the Greater Sydney Area is the wettest month of the year where I attend a major re-enactment event with several hundred like minded people (and single figure temperatures over night). I am trying to avoid lots of camp site set up and tear down as well as have dry and secure storage on site for a trailer load of gear - unfortunately a tear-drop trailer does not have the room for all my junk and all the ones I have seen require you to everything but sleep out in the weather.

The inside kitchen is mainly handy for my mate who would use the trailer for jobsite work where there would be portable job site toilets but few other facilities - this would save him several hours travel each day from the site to his shop and back the next day with his specialist gear that he cannot leave on site to the tender mercies of supposed '24/7 site security' - who usually disappear 5 minutes after the crew leave the site.

Then of course I can use the 'empty' trailer as auxiliary storage/workspace for panel glue-ups and the like :U
