Great photos, looks like a fantastic trip.

Am trying to talk the cheese and kisses into next years trip.

I see there were a couple of Lifestyle Campers on the trip. I would be very interested to hear how they went and if they had any issues to report.

A few more to keep everyone happy.

Nolan's Brook claimed a few but you will need to wait for Marks trip report for the fun info stuff.

Gee Symon, did your canvas get wet in that crossing  ;D



Be interested in to know how the Colorado towing the Extenda went ... they're a big camper to tow through there!

Surprisingly it was bone dry, as was the inside of the camper.  I did a lot of work on the seals after the amount of red dust I got from last time I came up here.

I'll let Brett tell the story of the Colorado, but from what I saw he did really well.  Even got through Nolan's without a tow.

The Colorado went well, a bit tight in places, to get around the turn at gunshot it was a 5 point turn. The camper is in showroom condition, well almost except for the trim panels below the chassis, stabilizers legs, side lights, a few scrape marks, ..... I think some rock sliders for the ct would be good.

HOLY CRAP, that looks a bit tight with a camper. I am assuming you guys are taking the OT tracks not the bypas roads.

I think next year we will do some of the OT but bypas most due to the handbrake and all.

Out of curiosity, how is the NS/NT paj going on the trip, the silver one?

Do you reckon the older style Extendas with the shorter rear overhang would have made a difference?

BJF,

did you take any steps to protect your drawbar from stone chips. How has the hammertone paint handled the going? We also have an Extenda Elite.
