Camper Trailer Australia — December 2017

T

wo years ago MDC hit upon a recipe

for success with their Venturer rear

fold camper. It won Camper Trailer of

the Year’s budget category in 2016 and

backed it up the following year with even more

features to win again. The result, not surprisingly,

was great sales success.

The formula revolved around a basic good

design jammed with great features and all at a

surprisingly good price considering what you get.

How could you go wrong?

Now, to celebrate the company’s 10th

anniversary, they have attempted to follow the

same road to success with the new Explorer

forward fold camper that, at just $14,990 plus

on-road costs, offers an awful lot for a very good

price.

TWEAKING THE FORMULA

The Explorer follows the basic format of the

currently popular forward fold layout and is

clearly aimed at those with a more limited

budget. The options are kept to a minimum –

you can have any colour you like as long as it’s

someone to give you a hand

Great value for money means

you can hit the road faster
