Great to see some fellow Mackay swaggers on here also. We used to camp up at captains crossing but gave up on there as every time we went we spent half our time cleaning up after the grubs that been there before us. We now go to diggings most of the time but trips are on hold until I get a replacement battery to run the fridge and some solar to keep it topped up. Got to keep those drinks cold :cheers: Jackster1 why the sale are you upgrading to hard floor or van? We are looking at moving on from our current oztrail 4 man tent to a canvas tent from the campmor range. They look unreal and bulletproof but there only dealers are in Sydney so thinking of taking a flight down before I commit.

Yeah I'm holding off on the whole camper thing for awhile. I've been looking for a few years now but I change my mind every 6 months on what I want haha. I originally was happy with the idea of a soft floor but leaning more and more towards a Jayco or hybrid style now as don't want the hassle of so much canvas and a quicker setup. I really like the new Bruder EXP-6 looks like a weapon but unless I win lotto sometime soon I don't see that happeningLeave it too long and the young family will be off having a family of their own!

Thanks Tracker, yeah there are always a couple :laugh:. Yes there does seem to be quite a few now I was doing a bit of a search for the locals the other night and was quite surprised. I think that would be a great idea, we would definitely be in for that as its been a few months since we got out.
On another note how do you find the BT50 have you had any issues? Dad has the same shape as yours a 2012 model I think and has trouble with the screen on the dash shutting down on hot days, other than that no problems at all ;D I have the first model "2010" and haven't had an issue with it yet been a great rig and had a 2006 model before it with no problems either.

Nice there are quite a few of us aren't there 8)
That's a plus dad has no end of trouble with his overheating, the dealer has been really helpful with trying to fix it but unfortunately they have run out of ideas. They've got countless replacements in and were even pulling them out of the demo vehicle they had on display trying to find out what was wrong. In the end they told him there was nothing else they can do ??? The only thing that dad has found that helps is to put a sunshade up and leave the windows cracked slightly. Its good to see on the latest revised model that they have moved the screen down in the dash where all the other makers put there's, hopefully that helps keep it a bit cooler.
