    Kamper Build Aussie Style - Romers new Kimberley Karavan

    I am still very happy with my unit. I havent had to do service yet, but expect that will all be on me and new that when I bought it. Since I built and work on my Landcruisers, I can't see it being a huge problem. Dutch repaired probably the most difficult issue with a broken wire due to a...

    Anyone using Racor garage hoist to store RTT?

    I have held an ARB Simpson and now a CVT Summit Extended Bachelor which is pretty damn heavy. It's been in use for 6 years

    Sold - Kimberly Kamper 2004 Explorer Thanks Rob

    These are awesome Kampers and built tough to go out in the Bush. My 2002 still looked new when I sold it last year. I thought I would keep it forever and then I liked it so much I bought a more expensive Kimberley, the Karavan.

    Power tank vs Puma Compressor vs ARB Twin vs ARB Twin kit Test Results

    Just an update on my setup personally. I sold the 100 and bought a 200 series Land Cruiser. In doing the lockers I went for the twin ARB based on how well it worked for me. In the last 18 months of wheeling including 2 separate week long visits to Moab, the ARB has not let me down. I finish...

    Mounting ideas for CVT MT Bachelor Summit Extended

    Thanks. I stuck with the Nylocs for safety and went to shorter bolts. It should be easier next time I install it on the truck

    CVT Summit Series discussion

    I went with shorter bolts and kept the Nylocs. Man this is heavy for one person to hoist by himself. The other RTTs were much easier to get on and off the truck

    CVT Summit Series discussion

    I deployed the tent and played with it. It is a well made tent and the mattress seemed comfortable. I did not set up the annex. I have had them on two other RTTs and never used them. I will make the mounting setup easier to run the bolts with my low profile rack. Is there a secret to...

    CVT Summit Series discussion

    I Got a Tan CVT Mt Bachelor Summit Extended series. I will use it only when my Kimberley isnt the right vehicle for the trip . Having quality makes me feel better about it lasting long term. I have a low profile rack and it was a pain to moun reaching the bolts. I am going to swap out for...

    Mounting ideas for CVT MT Bachelor Summit Extended

    I just bought a CVT MT Bachelor Summit Extended. Much of the reported weight is the zip on room which I likely wouldnt used. Still the RTT is heavier and a bit taller than my previous RTTs With my low profile rack it was a pain to mount. Lifting on and off the truck won't be an issue because...

    My journey to a GPS Solution

    I have changed gears on GPs. I was using a laptop and then an 8” tablet with memory map and topo USA with a blue tooth GPS receiver. Never was very happy with it. Tracks and the map showing the trail both were lacking on a trail Cdan and I were discovering in Moab earlier this month. My setup...

    Kamper Build Aussie Style - Romers new Kimberley Karavan

    I paid cash, not sure what others have done. They can provide a bill of sale and send the US title to the bank. You could ask Kimberley as they would likely know

    Australian Style Campers

    Thanks for the clarification Kimberley subtracted 20% for an export discount. They verbalized it was GST, but must be GST and other taxes. Just checked my receipt again to make sure. Checking there site it says the same thing http://www.kimberleygroup.com.au/usa The math is still correct...

    Australian Style Campers

    Kimberley in Australia has an import license. They deliver to the US with no additional costs Right now the dollar provides a great discount on these. You take the AUD$ price and subtract the 20% Export Discount. You then take that and convert to USD which is at .71, so for example, an 80K...

    Kamper Build Aussie Style - Romers new Kimberley Karavan

    Yes, we have been close friends for years and have been camping next to each other on many occasions, before it was two Kampers. Now he calls me his rich uncle :D The Karavan worked great. I am sure the S3 would be more comfortable, especially with the bathroom. I can get mine in my garage...
