Can anyone help?
I might need to get a Trak Shak Camper Trailer from Sydney to Perth
I have a quote from Watsons Express (Perth) @ $2200.00 --ouch
Is there a back load mob or similar that some one has used before?
on another note I am still looking for a tandem axle car trailer for myself and if transporting between states is economical than I will look at others states to purchase.

Cheers Michael

I tried everywhere to get out bike trailer from Melbourne to Perth and had prices up to $5,000. Was told that you pay full price as everything comes over and little goes back so you get stung.
I ended up paying them to haul it to Adelaide and then managed to backload from there. Still not cheap and no insurance etc.

Good luck.

Would be cheaper to advertise for someone who is driving across to tow it for you. If you offer to pay the whole fuel bill it will be cheaper than any alternative, as long as they are not driving a 351 F100

it cost me recently $600 for a quad crate to get to adelaide so i can imagine that it would cost $2000 + for a trailer

Roycroft- yes its a long way to Perth and I don't doubt the costs

yogie- The camper is not sold as yet but I had an enquiry from a chap in Perth so I am trying to estimate a price for him. As for calling in a favour from some fellow Oz atv members I'll save that for later but Thanks for any suggestions.
P.s I'm getting enquiries from the N.T and S.A so I will let them know that it probably isn't economical unless they have someone in the know/transport industry.

Cheers Michael
