2rackjack,

Like andoman I have a TrakShak and love it. Mine is nearly 12 years old and is still going strong.

Member Captain has a Complete Campsite and is pretty happy with it too.

I will offer only a little advice about buying a camper. You will own it for a long time so shop thoroughly.

I looked at campers for over six years before making a purchase. In that time I watched the TrakShak develop. My 96 model is much better than the 1990 model I first saw. The 2008 model has further refinements.

Keep in mind that your family will change in the time you own the camper. My eldest daughter was about 900mm tall in 1996, she is now over 2000mm tall. Get the idea. She has outgrown the bed she had at home in that time but not the one in the TrakShak

Enjoy the shopping, do it well and good luck,
Duncs

We considered the Complete Campsite when we were buying one last year. We ended up with an All Terrain which is pretty similar.
Only have 2 kids though, I reckon you could easily fit 4 (two bunk beds in the 17ft tent version), not so sure about 5.
Assuming the Complete is as easy to set up as the All Terrain, we found ours pretty good for the two long trips we did (NSW to WA), with a lot of overnight stops.

I'll try posting a photo below but pretty sure it won't work due to the word "f a r k i n" in the address (admins can you not censor it?)

Have a look at Redback and Clarke's Country Campers if you are after he walk-in design. These are made just north of Newcastle in NSW, so not far up the road from Complete Campsite. Challenge campers now also make a walk-in design

Have a look at myswag.org for mor feedback. It is a specialist CT forum
