- Hi guys,
As you know I checked out Marlin Campers some time ago where I met up with Steve the owner in Gosford NSW, he showed me around his operation and gave me a close look at these great light weight camper trailers.
His trailers won Camper Trailer of the Year 2020 and are a credit to him and his team.
Not long ago I reached out to Steve to see if I could borrow one to test, to my surprise he was only too happy to lend me one and only after he agreed did I tell him where I wanted to take it.
Without hesitation he told me to "Flog the hell out of it and bring it back dirty", well the lack of cleaning surprised me but he said it was all R & D and wanted to see how it went and how it sealed. So I became the independent R & D guy for this trailer. How cool is that?
Well we took it and pounded it to hell and back and as you watch you'll see the results. Let's just say it impressed me a lot.
Id like to thank Steve for allowing Kaz and I to take this trailer away and test it out!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Looks like a great camper steve simple design is sometimes the best I’m glad you mentioned the dust seal on the tailgate I was thinking there was a fare bit of dust in the back but knowing about the missing seal explains a lot well done and tested great series 🇦🇺👍
Thanks Steve, yeah we had no idea the seal was missing and considering what we did I thought the dust wasn't too bad. Im hoping we get to take it away again in the future now its been fitted. We did enjoy this camper while we had it. Cheers Steve
Looks like a great trailer , and it definitely done well behind the 200. It’s definitely great having a trailer on a trip 👍👍.
It really is a great camper trailer Shad. I would take it again anytime. Cheers Steve
Been using a Marlin escape for the last 18 months, definately value for money, tows easily behind my Suzuki Grand Vitara - fuel is around 7-9Lt/100km. Definately worth looking at if someone is looking for a good quality camper at a realistic price point. Thankyou for your video.👍
Thanks for watching and sharing your Marlin story, they are certainly great camper trailers. Cheers Steve
Nice one Steve
As you know I have a trailer the same with a different tent so it was good to see what they can handle
Cheers for sharing mate 👍
Thanks mate, they are awesome. Cheers Steve
Nice honest review Steve, I like the camper, and especially the trailer. It survived the abuse very well!
Thanks Scott, it is a really great camper trailer for sure. We loved it. Cheers Steve
Really glad I made the decision to order the Escape. Just have to wait until July. Looking forward to it.
Im sure you will love it David. We enjoyed this one. Cheers Steve
Great little trailer guys. Thanks for the video. The 200 wouldn't even feel it sitting on the rear. Thanks Steve & Kaz.
You're right mate, the 200 didn't feel the weight at all. Tough as nails and very comfortable camper trail. Cheers Steve
Great video mate I've just ordered an escape ultimate package... Enjoying your clips and looking to getting up the east coast with my camper this summer 😊
Hi Stewart, I hope you enjoy your new camper as much as I did using this one. Steve is great to work with and his product is top quality. Thanks for watching my clips mate and glad you're enjoying them. Cheers Steve
Thanks for sharing Muddgutts nice camper
No problem Gary. Cheers Steve
Really great review video. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!, thanks for watching. Cheers Steve
looks like it all survived your trip pretty well !
Very well indeed Brent, I would use this trailer anytime. Cheers Steve
Looks like a great camper guys. Rugged, comfy with power and water. Do you need anything else? What does it weigh?
Hi Jim, they are really light, tare would be about 600kg, loaded I think we might have just made the 1000 at most. I do really like this trailer. Cheers Steve
@@MudducksTouringAustralia thanks Steve
How are your bush barrier holding up for you? Any drama?
Cheers
Hi Alex, mate I find them really good, but with that I have found that if they go on a wet car they become almost impossible to get back off, which results in damaging the bush barriers themselves. Other than that they are great. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Cheers Steve
Hasn't got a bucket floor for the annexe.
The one we had did not, we just used a mat, Maybe contact Marlin and see if they do one for them. Not an option Im aware of mate. Cheers Steve
@@MudducksTouringAustralia How much would that particular rig cost?
@@sunriseboy6435 Mate I think it was about 24K, but you would be best to contact Marlin for up to date pricing. I have to say its one of the best campers Ive used for sure. Cheers Steve
Unbreakable and at a reasonable price not like the car, enjoyed the high country series so much I smashed the Dislike button twice Lol ..thanks Steve and Kaz
Thanks Carlo, Im glad you liked it mate. This trailer is just brilliant mate. Cheers Steve
Everyone on RUclips puts their ugly head close to the camera.
Stop it
I will try in the future. Cheers Steve
Do you mean like you did in your video ‘Our time at little Peta point south east coast Tasmania’???
