Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any restrictions on where I can take a Camper Trailer?

Good As Gold Campers can be used throughout all States and Territories of Australia.
ON ROAD Campers such as the Jayco Flamingo and Jayco Expanda are designed and built to travel on sealed bitumen roads only.

Can my vehicle tow a Camper Trailer?

Vehicle Towing Ability:

Your Vehicle Owner’s Manual will state the maximum braked towing capacity and the maximum tow ball weight for your vehicle. If these limits are greater than the figures below, you will not be breaking the law or compromising your vehicles’ insurance.

Your vehicle must be fitted with a substantial towbar and 50 mm towball. The Camprite Campers use a TREGG coupling which will be supplied.

Electrical System:

The Campers are fitted with standard 7 pin electrical plugs. Adaptors can be purchased from our store. If your tow vehicle is from Europe, (ie VW, BMW, Rover or Volvo) check with the manufacturer for an adaptor for LED trailer lights if required.

Who should we contact if we get into trouble?

Firstly, contact the Emergency Services if there is any threat to life or limb.

Just ask us and we can assist you to ensure you are well prepared.
