Utility Campers are the proud builders of the 'P190 Camperback'
an attractive slide on or traytop unit that fits any standard
6ft x 8ft flat tray.
In the August edition of "Caravan & Motorhome"
Mark Allen described the 'P190 Camperback' as

"looking a lot like the love child of a camping trailer
and a slide-on camper the P190 is a rugged design for rugged
conditions. It took
the Pinneys two years to perfect the P190, and it shows; the
amount
of work and the attention to detail are staggering."
This fits in with the current trend for Australians undertaking
more travel within Australia as recently published in the
"Financial Review" Friday, July 4, 2003 -
quote:
"Pack the thermos and bring the kids' colouring books.
The number of intrastate and road trip holidays is on the
rise these school holidays, so traffic jams should rival those
during the Christmas period.
The Australian dollar might have risen strongly against most
global currencies this year and cheap overseas holidays to
Asia-Pacific destinations are aplenty but Australians are
still spurning the urge to travel abroad in favour of holidays
at home.
The crisis in confidence caused by sudden acute respiratory
syndrome, the war in Iraq, last year's Bali bombings and the
threat of terrorism are weighing heavily on travellers.
So they have turned their sights inland, choosing travel closer
to home these school holidays.
"These things are influencing Australians to cocoon -
where they stay closer to home and batten down," said
See Australia chief executive Graham Perry.
But the cocooning effect has not extinguished the family holiday,
yet. The latest figures show the increased popularity of road
trips - 83 per cent of the $54 billion domestic tourism industry
is attributed to driving holidays, Mr Perry said.
"Caravanning, camping and campervanning are very, very
strong at the moment," he said. "People are getting
out into the regions."
