In Australia the camper trailer is a very popular form of camping accommodation. It is perfect for our Aussie camping lifestyle, whether it be weekends away or an extended trip into the great outdoors where no facilities exist. Being self sufficient is a must in these circumstances as well as carrying suitable spares & a good tool kit.

Most off road camper trailers have an under slung water tank, a fully functional compact kitchen & plenty of room to carry the necessary supplies without placing undue strain on the tow vehicle. Then there's the gas bottle, extra water or fuel which is carried in jerry's & a purpose built 12volt battery system which may be charged by a solar panel when camped, making an extended stay possible & fully charged between camps with a DC to DC charger with use of the vehicles alternator. 

Although the group was started as an Australian off road camper trailers group, members from other countries are very welcome to join. It gives us an insight into how others camp outside our own environment.

There are many members who have joined the group seeking advice when it comes to buying a camper trailer.
