My first post! I just bought a version of a Bruder but made by North Coast Campers (Brian) and distributed by offroadrv.com (Bill) . Off Road Sniper X Expedition. I saw it at the show in Arrington, VA last Saturday at Overland EAST. I had originally come to look at the Black Series and a few other ones but when I walked in the door of this camper, I immediately heard myself say this was going to be ours.
Not saying that is the way to do it, lol, but that was how it happened.
Listen, if you think you are going to buy one or something like these, go to these shows and buy the demo. Mine was a prototype that they have been showing. Not one thing wrong, but they do not want to have to haul these things back to where they came from (in my case, this trailer is distributed out of Oklahoma) but made in Australia. Not only did I get a killer deal, I did not have to wait for it to be made, shipped and go through customs. I know absolutely nothing about camping, except the few times I went tent camping, but I just jumped in and did it. Opportunity was there. I saved $30,000.00 doing that. I know it is not on the same level as the Bruder, but I will never know what I am missing. Has the suspension like all Australian made off road trailers do....the owner, Brian, is the guy on the right in the picture with 2 guys in it. The other guy is Bill, the U.S. distributor. Brian was there at the show and we spent close to 4 hours talking to him while he pointed out every thing about the trailer. We did send it back with them to put an AC unit in it. East Coast summer humidity is a deal breaker for me. As I said, I am jumping in head first but I wanted a camper that I could grow up with and would last longer than most anything out there while giving me the option to expand into boon docking when I feel like I know what I am doing. I should be getting pictures from them tomorrow and if you are interested, I can post those of the inside. I have a ton of ideas to make the space more usable, so like buying a house, you have to start with the shell, and I may eventually change things around to get more storage/space. But, that too will be a process of learning what I will need. This is a 14' model and has a shower/toilet in it but not sure how much we will actually use it but nice to have if we did need it.
