“We both felt that the wide steps and comparatively low bed were better than most slide ons, and certainly made it easier and softer for getting in and out in the middle of the night. We took the camper off the ute and set it up on its legs over the Easter period, which we would tend to do at any time when we were not travelling camping (different campsite very night). I was pleasantly surprised at its stability and also the ease of reversing back under it when it came time to leave.”

Paint
All Slide On Campers use the powder coating process because of its durability, longevity, great looks, and resistance to Australia’s harshest environmental conditions.
Powder coating is a process whereby a type of coating is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder that is then cured under heat to allow it to flow onto the component and form a “skin” that creates a hard finish much tougher than conventional paint.

Why choose a Cameron?
“All in all we like it, are happy with our purchase, and appreciate those features which make life a little easier than in the past.
