Mark,
A few queries leading up to next Sunday ... The Nationals.
How many "recognised" T3 camper conversion manufacturers were there? Trakka, Camperize, Suncamper and ????
The opportunity presents on Sunday to scout around and find them, both in the undercover and outside carparks?
Perhaps a couple of camera guys during the day to take pertinent photos of T3 campervans/conversi on permit stickers?
A "delegation" to brainstorm with Chris Band on the day? He may know all about his opposition builders as well?
Are Trakka or any others represented there on the day?

Hi Doone
Any idea why there are 2 numbers or what they may relate to?
Can you send a external & interior picture of your Camperise conversion? In fact, perhaps a picture of the sticker as well.
I think mine was done by Camperise, however, as you know for sure, it would be good to compare the style of conversion (ie, roof type moudling, interior layout)
If you coming to Nationals then can take a look there.
Ken - it may be important to know _who_ did the conversion as well in the absence of the sticker, in order to then further identify which approval number is appropriate.
Thanks

Ok thanks, so now, can those with any known brand T3 campervan conversion please check your own original documentation and/or sticker for reference to their own specific RTA issued T3 conversion builder permit/licence number & report here your findings?
By so doing it's possible we may in fact uncover a commonality of permit/licence number issued to each builder of T3 camper conversions. This information may well assist present and future owners of these campervans when dealing with the likes of the RTA.
TIA. Cheers.

My Suncamper top has the same pop up section as Harts Safari (with scissor lifts, not gas struts) but a different base section. Mine has a blunt end as he has said in an earlier post and I also have a small luggage well at the front with tie down points like Harts, but with a different drainage system for water that can get in there. I have seen photos of overseas campers with nice looking luggage bags tied down up there.
No doubt someone with a camera can go berserk taking photos of all these different conversions.

Phill and All,
Ok thanks, so now, can those with any known brand T3 campervan conversion please check your own original documentation and/or sticker for reference to their own specific RTA issued T3 conversion builder permit/licence number & report here your findings?
By so doing it's possible we may in fact uncover a commonality of permit/licence number issued to each builder of T3 camper conversions. This information may well assist present and future owners of these campervans when dealing with the likes of the RTA.
TIA. Cheers.
Ken

Hi Scott
Would be great if you can bring this brochure with you.
That's very interesting that Nose Cone now have that mould for the T3. Do you know if someone could take their tin-top T3 and have it installed there also?

From what I am aware, Camperize were bought out and the name changed to Discoverer Campers with "Safari" conversion models. Later Discoverer dropped the Safari and just called them Discoverer conversions.
Hence, Camperize, Safari and Discoverer are all the same basic design and the fibreglass roof was design by a guy named Richard ........ who died only a few years ago.
The Camperize/ Discoverer/Safari T3 roof mould now lives on and is currently Owned by a mob called "Nose Cone" who are based in 12 Donald St, Old Guilford.
They now even have correct spec of how to "lay up" the roof in the mould to make sure it doesn't sag.
I even have a 10 year old brochure of the discoverer / safari conversion to a T3 with a very nice 87 model twin diff-lock vehicle as the show piece.
I will try and dig it up and bring it to the Nationals.

A few queries leading up to next Sunday ... The Nationals.
How many "recognised" T3 camper conversion manufacturers were there? Trakka, Camperize, Suncamper and ????
The opportunity presents on Sunday to scout around and find them, both in the undercover and outside carparks?
Perhaps a couple of camera guys during the day to take pertinent photos of T3 campervans/conversi on permit stickers?
A "delegation" to brainstorm with Chris Band on the day? He may know all about his opposition builders as well?
Are Trakka or any others represented there on the day?

Hi Doone
Any idea why there are 2 numbers or what they may relate to?
Can you send a external & interior picture of your Camperise conversion? In fact, perhaps a picture of the sticker as well.
I think mine was done by Camperise, however, as you know for sure, it would be good to compare the style of conversion (ie, roof type moudling, interior layout)
If you coming to Nationals then can take a look there.
Ken - it may be important to know _who_ did the conversion as well in the absence of the sticker, in order to then further identify which approval number is appropriate.
Thanks

Note it is a Discoverer pop top system but referred to as "Safari" Campers - Nomad edition.
Hope it comes through.
If not I will bring it with me to the Nationals and Mark might be able to sort it out - or I will send the scan directly to Mark.

Ok thanks, so now, can those with any known brand T3 campervan conversion please check your own original documentation and/or sticker for reference to their own specific RTA issued T3 conversion builder permit/licence number & report here your findings?
By so doing it's possible we may in fact uncover a commonality of permit/licence number issued to each builder of T3 camper conversions. This information may well assist present and future owners of these campervans when dealing with the likes of the RTA.
TIA. Cheers.

Attached is the brochure I scanned and as I mentioned previously - it has seen better days.
Note it is a Discoverer pop top system but referred to as "Safari" Campers - Nomad edition.
Hope it comes through.
If not I will bring it with me to the Nationals and Mark might be able to sort it out - or I will send the scan directly to Mark.
Cheers,

If you have no scanner per Les' suggestion, I can have it scanned at our office on Monday and returned Yellow Express Post back to you.
If you have any other intersesting T3 or Syncro period literature, bring that too.
I am hoping that I can print off some brochures, price lists and pictures etc and put them on a board for the day.

Hi Scott
Would be great if you can bring this brochure with you.
That's very interesting that Nose Cone now have that mould for the T3. Do you know if someone could take their tin-top T3 and have it installed there also?

From what I am aware, Camperize were bought out and the name changed to Discoverer Campers with "Safari" conversion models. Later Discoverer dropped the Safari and just called them Discoverer conversions.
Hence, Camperize, Safari and Discoverer are all the same basic design and the fibreglass roof was design by a guy named Richard ........ who died only a few years ago.
The Camperize/ Discoverer/Safari T3 roof mould now lives on and is currently Owned by a mob called "Nose Cone" who are based in 12 Donald St, Old Guilford.
They now even have correct spec of how to "lay up" the roof in the mould to make sure it doesn't sag.
I even have a 10 year old brochure of the discoverer / safari conversion to a T3 with a very nice 87 model twin diff-lock vehicle as the show piece.
I will try and dig it up and bring it to the Nationals.

A few queries leading up to next Sunday ... The Nationals.
How many "recognised" T3 camper conversion manufacturers were there? Trakka, Camperize, Suncamper and ????
The opportunity presents on Sunday to scout around and find them, both in the undercover and outside carparks?
Perhaps a couple of camera guys during the day to take pertinent photos of T3 campervans/conversi on permit stickers?
A "delegation" to brainstorm with Chris Band on the day? He may know all about his opposition builders as well?
Are Trakka or any others represented there on the day?

Hi Doone
Any idea why there are 2 numbers or what they may relate to?
Can you send a external & interior picture of your Camperise conversion? In fact, perhaps a picture of the sticker as well.
I think mine was done by Camperise, however, as you know for sure, it would be good to compare the style of conversion (ie, roof type moudling, interior layout)
If you coming to Nationals then can take a look there.
Ken - it may be important to know _who_ did the conversion as well in the absence of the sticker, in order to then further identify which approval number is appropriate.
Thanks
Mark.

They are probably completely different unrelated companies which coincidentally have the same name.
Interesting a top of the line trakka was sold by "Safari Campervans".
Looks like there will be a fair amount of literature coming along.
I will also bring this article on the first ever syncro commercially produced in 1984.
