Interesting 🤔 👍
What's the indicative pricing for one of these?
Seems like a lovely camper!.. A question: When the kitchen and fridge are open and one is preparing to close up for the night, does the camper close to be fully mozzie-proof at night and obviously fly-proof during the day? Also, do you have showrooms in Adelaide. And, where can I get updated prices? Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. Yes. Its hard to see from the camera angle, but the canvas is attached to the rear of the kitchen and fridge carrier and swings out with them sealing against the floor. The door zips down and the bottom edge seals to the floor with magnets keeping the bugs out. So no Adelaide showroom, all sales are from Melbourne. Contact us via the website for pricing.
How long to put up the awning / Annex? Also, what about legs? (It isn't just on trailer wheels and jockey wheel is it!?)
Awning roof zips on to the rear very quickly, but then it requires 3 poles and ropes which can take some time depending on the ground.
Camper was designed to be stable without using the stabilizer legs. So there is no need to put them down. Yes, its only on the wheels and jockey wheel in the video and I sometimes setup like this for a quick overnight stop. But you can also use the stabilisers, which are the swing down and wind type. They help prevent it rocking around.
@@kerfton Gotcha, ta
@@kerfton Can you enclose the awning and does it come with a skirt, to stop drafts from under the trailer? Thanks
@@DougieLAwning roof and side walls only. The side walls can be used vertically down (to keep the wind out), or out at about 45 degrees to let the breeze through. There is no rear wall or draft skirt. We used to have an enclosed annex in the pricelist. But we never got any orders and so its no longer an option. After people see how big the internal living space is the need for another enclosed external space seems to disappear. Although I'm sure not all will have the same opinion.
Can the awning be left attached for set-up/pack down?
It can, but its so quick to attach there is no real benefit.
How do you pack this up in the rain without the inside getting wet?
The main area of concern for rain is the end of the main bed which is normally exposed during a packup. However if the canvas rear door is half closed before a packup the bed is protected. Its a bit harder packup with door half closed, but not too bad. Other areas are not too exposed, provided its not bucketing down. If someones is really concerned about a wet packup, then I recommend carrying a thin plastic sheet to place over the bed first. Although I dont bother with this and have never had issues.
Thanks for the reply!
Can you get air-conditioning fitted
the end is quite funny
Is there an attachment for a awning on the front?
Yes, goes out 2.2m
How does pack down go in the rain? Will rain pool in the canvas over the side pods? Is there a way to protect the double mattress from getting wet?
Only the dry side of the canvas touches the bedding, so normally wont be an issue. However, if its really sodden wet, moisture can wick through canvas and could result in damp bedding. If your worried about this I recommend carrying a thin plastic painters drop sheet to place over the bedding when needed. Although I don't do this to deliberately find out how bad it can get, but am yet to have an issue (although maybe I just haven't had bad enough conditions yet).

Any plans of selling this in USA? What's the gross weight of this rig?
Absolutely. We are currently working on bringing it to the USA. Tare weight is around one tonne, depending on selected options and the unladen ball weight is 100kg. Aggregate trailer mass is 1.6 tonnes, making it a relatively easy load to tow.
How come other countries have the coolest campers?
No promises yet, but we are working on it.
Any plans on coming to US?
Absolutely! We are currently working on it.
That is an excellent design and well thought through fit out.
Cheers Ben. We put a lot of effort into the design and engineering to bring a unique product to the market.
Was it cold at night? Also, do you bring bikes for you & the kids?
Don't think it was cold on that trip. I think shorts even in the rain. And the camper has a heater anyway. No bikes on that trip.
Keeping it real, nice 👍
I'm not in Australia, but I have been following your channel as I find your trailer quite impressive and innovative. The ease of how you put the fridge and kitchen unit away being part of it. Also, as demonstrated in this video, the small, but well thought out useful things. Such as using the pole bag as a rain flap for the rear when leaving the trailer at camp. Very clever and a 'small thing' that can save a very big hassle of the potential of having a water-logged trailer in an extreme downpour.
Thank you very much!
Can you add photos to your gallery or make a video of the awning with sides? (Enclosed.) I am assuming that it can be enclosed / totally weather proofed? Pretty please
Sidewalls are available. There are no plans for a rear wall. There are a few pics here facebook.com/kerfton
How do you use the kitchen when it is raining? Is it possible to have some kind of back covering, or is that not allowed due to fire danger?
Yes, there is a rear awning roof. Can also be used with side walls.
Thanks very much. Looks amazing!
hey guys, I have almost no sound. I checked another video and sound was great, so there's an issue with this one.
great invention! for the side beds (once extended), how much weight can it support? and how much total weight internally can it support? suggestion: electrical outlets should try to use the universal outlet.
Kids pods are rated for 100kg each. Camper tare is about 1150kg (fully optioned) and ATM is 1600kg. So leaves around 350kg for payload.
Opening every cubbard/ drawers why? Everyone knows what they are first looks like last! How Dumb can you be🤪👎
Is there an awning for the trailer that covers the kitchen area
Yes an awning is available. We also provide a cover for the kitchen for use overnight if you dont put up the awning.
Novel! Thanks for showing it as it is!
Where do you store your luggage?
There are large storage compartments internally and external storage at the front of the camper.
Are these available in the US
Not at the moment sorry but it's definitely on the agenda.
Is this available in the US
Not yet, but we are working on it.
Congrats Gary! Well done.
Thank you!
I am quite impressed by the simplicity of this set-up design. 80% is done within the trailer, which is helpful when setting up in inclement weather. Regarding the main tent on the trailer, I think that your metal pole set-up is the most appropriate method. I don't know about your trailer awning (or even if there is one), but typically in Europe, it is the awning portion (especially when fully enclosed) that takes a lot of time and is a huge faff to set-up. This is where I think that the attachment of air-beam/air-pole awnings are the way to go. No extra poles, simply zip onto the main part/trailer and let a dedicated electric pump do the rest.
Reminds me of the old European trailer tents. So simple. This is quality mind, very well done.
Agree on the air idea.
This looks awesome 👌🏽
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Glad to have been part of this project. Congrats!
Well done guys, that’s awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much.
Meanwhile, all of your bedding is saturated if you have to set up or pack up in the rain. No thank you.
Rain is not a problem. Just keep the rear canvas door closed if its raining. Its not quite as convenient, but everything then stays dry.
It’s called camping. Sounds like you need to stick to hotel rooms
Sounds like you've never set up or backed up in the rain@@Chris-sf2cp Wet beds are a bitch and meanwhile fridge and kitchen are saturated
Looks good. Does it travel well on dirt roads? Airtight for dust when travelling? You’ve done well inventing this.
price
Awesome
Bloody fantastic product guys.

Bloody fantastic. That would be ideal for me
FUNCTIONALITY OF SPACE HAS BEEN APPLIED IN DETAIL, NICE TO SEE EFFORT FINALLY WIN OVER A FUTURE MARKET SHARE AMONG CAMPERS !!!!!!!!

Happy for you to have a look at our showroom in Oakleigh, Melbourne.
🙄😳😮👏👌👍
Can you make a u tube video of the whole trailer inside and out as there is not much info on your web site. Storage, weight, water tank size. The general info thanks
Please provide a video that's shows the interior. Thank you.
