Tips on choosing a Camper Trailer

Which camper trailer do I buy?

Sounds like a simple question doesn’t it? The simple truth is that purchasing a camper trailer is an investment that can have profound changes in your lifestyle, and as such special care and consideration needs to be taken when deciding which direction to go in.

1) Budget

PMX Campers are renowned for being the best “bang for your buck” when it comes to soft and hard floor campers in and around Perth. With our range of camper trailers spanning between $5,000 to $20,000, we’ve got just about any budget covered. Need finance? Our friendly staff can help you with that too.

2) Towing capacity

Your vehicle’s towing capacity is a factor of its engine size, brakes, weight, transmission, tyres, bearings, chassis, suspension etc. After taking these variables into account, the vehicle’s manufacturer establishes a recommended towing capacity, which must not be exceeded. Our on and off road camper trailers come with 10’ Electric drum brakes and our fully equipped workshop staff are more than capable of fitting a brake controller to your car or 4×4.

 

3) Number of people camping

Just you and a partner? Taking the three kids along on your trip up North? Dirtbike weekend with the guys? We offer the option of a 13’ or an 18’ tent on our soft floor campers, to make extra room for the family or any guests you take with you or meet along the way on your Australian adventure. Both our soft and hard floor campers have a full wall and floor kit so you can completely enclose the annex and use it as extra sleeping space out of the weather.

4) Destination

Whether you’re camping in the mother-in-law’s backyard over the Christmas period, or escaping her by heading deep into the Australian outback, PMX campers has a trailer specification for you. If you’re hitting the trails, our Trail Ranger off road capable camper trailer is more than able to get you there and back again. Wanting to keep it simple and stick to sealed and light gravel tracks? The M1 Series Buckland trailers come equipped with leaf springs for maximum simplicity and reliability when you clock up serious miles on the blacktop.

5) Tent setup

One aspect to consider when choosing a tent is whether you’re in the market for a soft or hard floor camper. Each has their own advantages when it comes to flexibility, storage space, ease of setup and towing weight. Soft floor campers give the authentic feel of camping, get the kids to help you set up and the memories can be very rewarding and help to develop skills in later life. Hard floor camper trailers are quick and easy to erect and well suited to quick stopovers. Our friendly staff are more than able to help you out in deciding which is best suited to your needs.

6) Options and accessories

Camping isn’t just about the camper trailer. Camping away from Perth for a few days? If you have a battery system, you’ll need a way to keep it charged. We stock a range of solar panels to help you do just that. Tired of camping in the dark? LED’s have come a long way and offer brilliant levels of illumination. We have a range of portable stoves to make cooking up a storm a breeze when you’re away from home. Come and check out our Canning Vale or Wangara stores to see what you need to take with you on your next camping adventure.

It may seem like an incredibly daunting task, but the staff at PMX campers are able to help you arm yourself with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision on your new investment. Let us help you get onto the trails in a brand new PMX camper.

How to choose a Camper Trailer

The Camper Trailer is a very comfortable and convenient way to go camping. For some first time campers, there are lots of many different models on the market and it can be daunting to know where to start to look. Following are some things you may consider when choose your first Camper Trailer.
1. Your Budget.
From the basic model to fully equipped extreme off road model, a camper trailer could cost between $3500 and $50000. Your budget could help you scale down the range of your options.
2. How much weight can your vehicle safely tow?
Understanding this number will help you choose the right Camper Trailer that does not exceed your vehicle’s weight allowance when fully loaded with gear and water.
3. Family members.
You also need to consider how many family members will go camping with you. If you have a big family, a camper trailer tent which can attach an extra annex room may be more practical to your camping adventure. Knowing how many people you will be camping with is also important in selecting a camper trailer that has the power and cooking facilities to suit your needs.
4. Where you go to.
From the basic on road model to a fully equipped off road design for outback adventures, our Camper Trailers are suited to different road conditions.
5. A tent that is easy to setup.
This is important because it could save a lot of work and make your camping trip easier and more enjoyable. All PMX Camper Trailer tents are designed to setup and pack down with relative ease and it is important to note the more you do it the easier it becomes.
6. Fully equipped
4wd hitch, independent suspension, reliable power facilities, water storage and cooking facilities are necessary items if you intend on camping in the outback. PMX Campers’ off road Camper Trailers are designed for off road conditions in Australia. We can also supply and fit a range of camping and vehicle accessories to ensure you will be well equipped for your next adventure.

The “M Series” Is Coming

1. Introduction

All camper trailer manufacturers will tell you they have the best product at the most affordable price on the market today but few really do the research and development to back that up. Here at PMX, we have taken inspiration from our own experiences and those of our customers and used these ideas to develop the next generation in PMX Camper Trailers for the 2015 season.

Through competition, prices are becoming more affordable so owning your own camper trailer is no longer the domain of hard core 4WD enthusiasts. We know your camper trailer should be tough enough to handle the off road conditions you throw at it and it should be easy to tow without the use of an expensive 4WD, but equally as important; PMX recognise it should be packed with the options you’d expect from most modern, upmarket caravans. Camping is enjoyed by more and more families each year, in fact, we have seen a marked increase in the growth of both Caravan Park and free bush camping over the last 10 years. Australian families are starting to realise the potential holiday savings and comfort that a camper trailer offers, as well as the flexibility to visit some of the most remote areas inthe country. This has been the inspiration for the latest range of PMX camper trailers we’ve come to call the “M Series”.

2. Inspiration

In conjunction with Ezytrail, we started the “M Series” project almost 2 years ago just after the release of our second generation of camper trailers the “SY Series”, we were looking to incorporate a better build quality and a more family oriented range with practical and luxury options to make your camping experience better than ever “we think we have achieved that”.

The “M Series” is the third generation of camper trailers to come from PMX and definitely the most complete and best to date. More research and development has gone into the build quality, model line up and  options list than any other camper trailer we have produced in the past.

3. Technology

For many years the camper trailer industry has remained stagnate with little or no investment in modern manufacturing techniques. PMX and Ezytrail decided to change that approach by looking at the automotive industry and the technological improvements they’ve employed over the last 20 years.

Our factory has invested more than $5M on upgrading their systems to incorporate Robot Welding Technologies, Laser Cutting CNC Machinery and Electrocoat (E-Coat) undercoating and six stage vitriol preparation baths for our “M Series” line up. This technological revolution has improved build quality so much that PMX Camper Trailers has decided the “M Series” will be covered by an Industry leading full 5 Year manufacturer’s structural warranty.
