New Explorer Campers 2012 Brochure

Recently we snapped some photos of our current demo campers for our new brochure. A tedious task for us, maybe, but the result was some great shots capturing the quality of workmanship - precisely what Explorer Campers and Canvas stands for. We thought we would share some info behind the brochure.

The 2012 Brochure front cover

The brochure was designed and printed just in time for the Rosehill Super Show in Sydney in April 2012. The difference with our photo shoot compared to other brochures you might see, is there are no tricks, no photos studios, simply our campers that have been made the same way, to the same standard we make all Explorer Campers. The location was Scott's sister back paddock, by the dam. The photographers, Andrew and Scott themselves, and the 'models' sitting in the camp chairs, were Scott's Mum and Dad.

The three main photos on the front cover are photos sent in by our customers. We are lucky to come across such fantastic customers who love our product so much, they offer to do all sorts of things to help spread the word. Customer's sending in photos of their travels with their Explorer Camper is just one of the ways they help us out (and make us very jealous)!

Our 'models' hard at work!

The new brochure also includes most of our optional extras priced out. If you already own an Explorer Camper, be sure to drop in or request a copy to be posted to you. There are many new extras and ideas which you are sure to love, which will more than likely be able to be added to your existing Explorer Camper!

The Value in Re-Sale Value

We all know buying a quality product results in a better experience when using a product, however sometimes the importance in re-sale value is overlooked, particularly when comparing campers trailers.


A quality camper trailer is not just a camper that will not leak in the wet, but is also (and almost by default), a camper trailer that you will be able to sell at a price not far south from where you purchased it.


If your intention for buying a camper trailer is take it around Australia for a year, and then let it go, you want to know that your camper trailer will still fetch a high price once you have had your fun with it. It will come as no suprise that cheap, non-Australian made camper trailers have very little or no re-sale value at all. A quality trailer that goes the distance is where the smart money looks, and as some of our customers have found out, it is not always the biggest or most well-known camper trailer makers that produce the highest quality. 


We encourage anyone looking for a new camper trailer to do your research. Look at the little things. Ask questions. If you do not feel like you can trust the guy selling you the camper, how can you trust the camper trailer?


To see an example of the value of a high re-sale value, just take a look at this advert for a second hand Explorer Camper: http://www.exploroz.com/Classifieds/Campers_Trailers.aspx?id=11316


Bearing this in mind will benefit the purchaser in the long run. Cheap products are cheap for a reason.




Explorer Campers will go the distance!
