Pioneer Argyle SE
Excellent Camper
We have had our Argyle SE now for six months and are very happy with it. Bought in WA at pioneer Wangara and staff did excellent preparation. I have done some mods, and in the process have noted that the good workmanship extends to the areas that are not readily observable. We have made some mods, such as slide out support bars for the fridge box gull wing doors, as these touched the ground when hitched up and opened, addition of a better low voltage cut-out, and a timed solenoid cut out valve on the hand pump. This was required as the ...Read more
existing tap on the water line was situated under the trailer and difficult to access. Also the hand pump was moved to a position further inboard as the pump was damaged by a tree branch in the original location. All up, very satisfied with performance and build quality. I cannot comment on after sales service as it has not been required. The old story, you pay more for better quality local manufacture, but when you are out in the bushes you have much less chance of being let down.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Gen 2 Pioneer Argyle SE
Gen 2 is a new design from the new owner based in Melb.
Like Macca1000 I'd looked at similarly specced models from other makers and this was a better value proposition. We had had a Johnno's light off-road unit for 5 years and valued it as a simple, strong Australian-made camper built for Australian conditions. The Argyle SE shows the same qualities and in addition has quick set-up, more features and more 'bushability'.
We ordered ours with some extras: 2nd battery, thermal roof, draft skirt and DO35 hitch.
After two short trips I ...Read more
can say that so far our expectations have largely been met. We took it on some of the 4WD tracks around the Snowy River and it rode well (and it can readily be reversed over a conservation hump and round a blind corner when faced with a tree across the track!) The hand water pump has proved surprisingly useful. We were concerned about whether the storage space would be enough after the cavernous tub on the Johnno's, and it is. More accessible too. The two low hatches are ideal for wet and dirty items. The kitchen works well though at some stage I'll remove the stove lid to better access the prep area while cooking. I've cut a sheet of chopping board material to sit over the draining board and sink to provide a working area close to hand. I like the tan coloured canvas walls much more than the grey commonly used on camper trailers which I find depressing. That may sound like a small thing but if you're spending days with this as your base camp it makes a difference. Re colours of canvas and body, you can ask for variations when you order.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Excellent Extra Heavy Duty Off Road Camper Trailer
An excellent heavy duty off road camper trailer for the price. Have taken it through Kakadu, Bungle Bungle, Kimberley - Gibb River Road, Mitchell Plateau and the Pilbra with-out any problems. Driven in deep water, over rough corrugated roads and very rugged country and didn't skip a beat! Water proof and dust proof - even in bull dust! It takes only a couple of minutes to set up and you can leave the bed made up when folding down. Kitchen is easy to use and gullwings large and easily accessible.
Extra Heavy Duty Off Road capabilities and easiness of set up!
Electric water tap in kitchen needed replacing - problem was fixed satisfactory.

Bad
You may have some success going through someone else, but we are spending lots of time (and money) getting it 'fixed'... as we live in the country it was too much hassle to take it back, we tried once but no success so not willing to go there again.
Were able to design in what and how we wanted
Poor workmanship in some areas, wiring done the long way around
Pole holders welded at wrong angles, currently having trouble getting electric brakes to work...
What we requested half wasn't done and to get it done the way we requested we would have h...Read more

Questions & Answers
Mac Casked
If it rains when it is set up, is it waterproof?
2 answers
Oh yes.
It needs preparing with several wet/dry cycles for the canvas to expand into the stitch holes and then it's perfectly reliable.
Yes,ours was waterproof from the start. As with any canvas, do not stretch the canvas over the bars unduly when erected, to reduce the load on the stitching and reduce the chance of needle holes expanding. Also, slacken the canvas if rain expected, as wetness will cause the canvas to tighten over the bars.
