They are expensive because they are purpose built, cater to a small market, handmade, and thoroughly tested in the environment they were built for. I don't think other standard camper trailers are that much more, but their quality is horrendous. They fall apart on the lot. Or how about other US...

After doing the currency conversion, the Australians pay $46,000us and we pay $53,000us (on sale from a local dealer). That's a $7k difference, most likely for the reason I mentioned. Maybe if the US would get off it's butt and make a comparable and reliable trailer......

I'm paying freight and import costs that equal exactly what I paid for the suspension kit itself. I'm betting even with loading up full containers, they are facing the same costs to get those trailers here. Then there's resale taxes, dealer fees, etc. Did you try comparing the same trailer in...

The Dexter Torsion axles can be ordered so they have a 45 degree downturn. That puts the axle several inches above the centerline of the wheel. I almost hit the order button on that. I'd recommend it for any small trailer, over any other suspension type. They are smooth as butter and perform...

Older, used popups or teardrops will get the job done on 90% of the trails at a fraction of the price. I wouldn't take them rock crawling, but if you do your research and buy a quality built unit, it will follow you for years. This 86 Coleman Tara has been in the family since new. My father...
