We found our expedition trailer.

First, I guess I have to thank jagular7 and his thread on "What to do with my frame". In his post he mentioned the Kamparoo trailer. I was like "what is a Kamparoo?" Some Internet searching, lots of reading and months of looking a different options, my wife and I felt a Kamparoo Weekender would be perfect for us. Now to find one.

I contacted Glen at Kamparoo.com in Canada, who is a builder/importer for Kamparoo. They only build the Vacationer, which does not have the slide out kitchen and storage of the Weekender. In his reply to me he did say he had a MINT condition 2004 model and sent pictures. Well the last few days have been emails and pictures back and forth and as of today, we purchased this unit.

It is being shipped down from Canada and if all goes well, I should have it sometime the last week of January.

We are so excited to have found what we feel is what we want and need. Already starting to plan some long weekend trips. Here are a few pictures he sent me. BTW, Glen is a very stand up guy and very nice to work with. I expect nothing less with the rest of the transaction. Can't wait to start doing

Congrats! I got to see one of these up close in Australia, and at our Land Cruiser Rally here in Denver last summer and they are really awesome units. I can't wait for you to post up a lot more pics of that thing on some sweet adventures!

Congrats!

Congratulations! I just got to see Ali's Kamparoo when we were in DV together last week. The tent is well designed and crafted...it opens in less than a minute and you have a place to sleep and get out of the weather quickly. Collapsing and securing is about 5-minutes. It's a great design. You will love it!

Congrats! What type of suspension does it use?

[Willman]

Very nice!

Can't wait to see the action shots!

Congrads!

Congrats! What type of suspension does it use?

Leaf springs (shackle at one end, floating at the other) and no shocks (Tregg hitch coupler). You'd think it would bounce all over when traveling over rough terrain. But after spending a few days trailing Ali & Michelle and their Kamparoo I was truly amazed! Hi speed washboard, rough stuff like up and over Lippencott Mine Road and the like...stable as can be. It certainly helps that it is about 1200lbs and a long relatively low CG. FYI: Ali's has 15" wheels & tires...12psi on the rough stuff and 30psi I believe on the highway.

What a great find!

I can certainly understand why you and the Mrs. are excited. That should compliment your XJ perfectly. I've also heard nice things about alia's Kamparoo through the ExPo grapevine.

We'll look forward to news of your first outings. Hopefully photos too. Congratulations!

Nice find! You guys are going to enjoy this puppy. Looking forward to the trip pics.

Actually this unit has shocks as well. It has the Trans-Continental package which gives it a longer tow bar, bigger wheels/tires and off-road suspension. Here's a pic that was sent. We so can't wait and glad everyone seems to say it is a good unit. Down the road, I may build an independant, air ride setup like the Adventure Trailers to help it ride even better but I want to see how it is currently.
