I wanted to get the bigger Retreat Hamilton but I had to settle for the Keppel because of the weight restrictions The Keppel has a Tare of around 2000kg and loaded will come within my 2500kg limitation. I still love the Keppel but I would have liked a bit more floor space that the bigger provided.... we had a Jayco Expanda until a couple of weeks ago... Sold it in readiness for the new toy.
