| 405910 | 2005-11-20 22:49:00 | 30 years or so ago we bought a camping trailer. It was called a Vagabond but was in fact a Scamper copy - I believe it used the old tools and design they left behind when they moved north. We still have it - its excellent. But Muldoon managed to destroy the NZ camper/caravan business and most firms gave up. I see now more people want trailers etc and I considered turning out a set of plans for the thing so that good folks could make their own. I do have 30 years of design experience all over the world but am a duffer as regards business. Being retired I don't want a huge profit etc just a chance to do something usefull. I would appreciate advice about this idea. Tom |

| 405912 | 2005-11-21 23:43:00 | Here is an outfit which makes them www.caravansandcampers.co.nz There seems to have been a move away from caravans/pop-top campers in the last 20 years, to large tents. I suppose there are no registration/wof worries or storage problems as compared with any type of trailor. The move suprises me. There is probably still a small market for what you suggest which is an ideal compromise betwen a caravan and a tent. I have friends who have used a Scamper for about 20 years with great enjoyment. There are backyard caravan manufacturers so no reason why you shouldn't give it a try. Best of luck. :thumbs: |
