2 year waiting list for Camper

[RobertRyan]

I visited the Sydney Caravan and Camping Show and asked one of the exhibitors, the fact you do not see many slide on Campers. Active Campers are pretty persistent being at every show I have seen. Other TC makers have come and gone( or do the regional shows or other Australian States) Millard was also at the Sydney Show with an updated Camper as well.
She answered that they had a 2 year waiting list for their Campers, so people did want them. She added they had the lightest Camper on the market

Husband and Wife have a business converting these. Not a light “Truck Camper”

[RobertRyan]

Still can't keep up with the demand for RV's here in the USA

Same in Australia . Demand has been rising dramatically, new manufacturers have been appearing all the time

In other countries people are OK going slower but going without crash.

Do they have a rvnetaustrailia forum?

Well payloads for the “1/4 tons” are slightly more in some cases than your 1/2 tons. HD 1/2 tons. Maximum roughly 3100lbs. Below it is an Off Road “ 1/4 ton”

Sounds to me like a quality hand built product instead of the slam it out the door stuff made here.

Probably worth the wait.

Probably that is it. They seem well made

Just looked it up. Interesting, in 2017 had 46.95 million campers (people) in just the USA alone and 1/1/2018 listed over 120 different active RV manufacturer's in the USA with most having many various RV's model lines, sizes, types (like towables or motorized or carried, etc). One site mentioned that there are more than 1800 various models/floorplans etc in 2016 being manufactured in the USA. Whew! Still can't keep up with the demand for RV's here in the USA.

Of course, there's over 330 million legal people living in the USA now and another over 37 million up in Canada and the 2 countries intermingle freely. Can't find all the same detailed RV'er, camper, manufacturer's info for Canada but it's substantial also.

The number of established and designated and defined campground spaces in the 50 U.S. states is constantly a changing number. Best info I could find is in 2016 it referenced 3,100,000+ sites in the USA (RV private parks, state parks, national parks, club, fairgrounds, military, and local governmental control, etc) not including the legal open land dispersed camping such as BLM, open dispersed national forests or state forests, etc. Guess there's no idea how you'd put a number on how many individual campsites there could or would be as they are not normally designated or marked site spaces, just a general vast area.
