Hello
I am new to this forum and thought I should say hi!!
I have been seeing Kiwiangler's Conqueror posts for a while and I have to say I am (we are) as happy as he is :-)
So, hopefully if I can work it out, here are a few pics of William the Conqueror as he is known (with his best mate Jeremiah Jeep)!
We actually picked him up from Briz on the 18th of Feb 2011 which looks to be the very day after KiwiAngler had his delivered!!
Here goes:
Williams first tow

Only got a couple hundred k's down the road - had to stop and play!

The morning after a wet overnight stop - quick just jump in!!

We are in Canberra and have NEVER seen another Conqueror of any type on the road!! Should try and make a Conqueror convoy with all the other Conquerors!!!
Will be good chat, show off pics and find more places to go :-) (Aus trip coming soon - but not soon enough)

Hi Kelli (& Tony). Welcome to MySwag, Wow, nice set up you have there
-
Any chance we could get some inside pics?
Cheers,
Richard.
-
Thanks Pete_R
MystQ - will get some inside pics this weekend - it's odd because I cannot think of ever taking ANY inside pics - but I can change that by Monday :-)
-
Hi
Kelli (and Tony)
and welcome
Looks great.
More pikkies is always good!
Thanks for sharing it certainly looks the goods!
How do you find the jockey wheel, I believe this comes off rather than folds up is that a hassle?

when I read "Williams first tow", the first thing I saw was the dog - I was horrified, untill I woke up to the fact that William is your trailer...
Nice camper guys... love em.
My dream unit!
Enjoy and welcome!

Nice Camper guys, I'm new too so I can't say welcome yet. Can't wait to see your pics of the inside and of your travels in it.
-
Hi and welcome to the forum!
Love the Conqueror and the JK too. I noticed on the back window the Jambo sticker for last year - what a great event that was!! (I was lucky to win the Show and Shine for 4 door JK's up to 33')
-
WOW....that looks great, but the dog looks a worry...yours ?
-
G'day Kelli and Tony and welcome to Myswag. :cheers:

They are a great camper and looks like you have the Jeep sorted as well
You must be loving it great to se them both dirty

Welcome and congratulations on buying the best CT on the market

Hi Kellie and Tony
Welcome to the Conquerors :-)
Since picking up "Gunyah' I have retired and am now full time on the road. It is as good as tghey say, there has been very few places that I havent been able to take it and all in comfort
I have set up a tracking page so if you want to see where I have been and where I am just go to this website and take a look
http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=2d464de362759825a
Hopefully we can catch up and be the start of the Convoy? :-)
Cheers

Hey Kelli & Tony,
And welcome to another UEV490 owner, I have one as well and only received mine back in late june it has been out once so far as the weather is terrible over here in the west and having to go to work, but we have more trips planned for the future and will keep you all updated as they occur.

Unbelievable machines - I first saw one on a CT DVD and then spent an hour going over one at an outdoor equipment show. I've been through the Pioneers, KKs etc. and they are brilliant, but the Conquerors just push the right buttons with me. I reckon there's one in my future at some point. Congrats on the new rig, if I ever saw one out camping I couldn't help but be a stickybeak so perhaps we'll meet up some day :)
-
An awesome bit of kit!!! I saw one of these whilst driving back home from Nelligen; woukdnt happen to be you?

If it was a white JK towing then I reckon it would have been - I think it's the first one they have sold to a Jeep owner. Where is home? Which way was I going and when? I have been down there a few times lately so yeah.
WOW....that looks great, but the dog looks a worry...yours ?
He's our tough dog!!
Love the Conqueror and the JK too. I noticed on the back window the Jambo sticker for last year - what a great event that was!! (I was lucky to win the Show and Shine for 4 door JK's up to 33')
Do you have silver JK? I remember someone really shining one up - I probably have a pic of it somewhere :-) we were in the 60 second Oz tent back then - camped with the ACT Jeep Traction folks :-)
And the person who asked about the jockey wheel - yeah it does have to be removed before towing which I thought would be a bit of a pain but I have just made a spot for it in the back of the Jeep and no problems. You could also store it in the front tool box. It is a pretty mammoth heavy duty thing hence the no folding.
OK I have a couple of inside pics taken just before going away (didn't get far - JK fuel line melted to the exhaust - lucky he's a diesel - but that's another story)! So it's all packed up and ready to go in the pics below (roof is down). Next time we go somewhere I'll set up the front bed and use the internal table and see what it's like with a bit more room - so more pics of the full set up inside (including shower, kitchen etc) on the way soon I hope.
Walk in the main door from the kitchen - and you look towards the bathroom door

Look right as you walk in
(http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/s720x720/205824_10150263900510415_670170414_7848592_7426247_n.jpg)
Looking right still

Lying on the bed looking forward - this is what folds out to become another double/queen sized(ish) bed. When driving I have a bag with wall tarps and ground sheets and a box with some pots, pans, stable tables etc tied up. These just go outside when we get there.
(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/298189_10150263900695415_670170414_7848595_3243303_n.jpg)
Marine stereo, power switch board. Notice the 'cupboard' still has L9 written on it in chalk from when they made it (he is still new)! I must wipe that off.
(http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/300189_10150263900805415_670170414_7848598_7367012_n.jpg)
Looking towards bathroom door from the main bed (which incidentally needs king size sheets because of it's width)!

Work just gets in the way of my Conquering!!

If it was a white JK towing then I reckon it would have been - I think it's the first one they have sold to a Jeep owner. Where is home? Which way was I going and when? I have been down there a few times lately so yeah.
I drove from Nelligen to Sydney via Kings Hwy, Braidwood Rd to Goulburn and then the Hume Hwy all the way home.
-
Love them and was very interested in them until I saw the sleeping limitations - even the biggest one didn't cover four kids the wife and I.
Great set up and well thought out. Can't complain about that.
Will keep considering the Camprite!

Hi Guys
Great looking CT..i buy a ticket every Saturday night...to own one of these :laugh:.....
Look forward to seeing more photo's
Thanks for sharing Smally
-
Nice.
That isn't a CT, it is a Tajmahal.
Well done.
-
By the way, was the wine rack filled up? :-)
-
thanks everyone :-) we sure do love him
the wine rack wasn't full (because I really do not drink wine) - but he had a bottle of Jack in him :D
-
Excellent set-up and nice looking Jeep as well!
-
Hi Kellie and Tony.
Welcome to Myswag from another Canberran. That's a great looking camper you have there. What side of Canberra are you on. I'd love to have a look at the Conqueror if ever you have it set up at home....

G'day & Welcome.
A unique combination you've got there, terrific.
If you find that "William the Conqueror" becomes a mouthfull you could call it "1066".
-
Yes - but still too long!!
He's Willi for short (so that makes Jeremiah "Willie's Jeep").
I reckon they're a great pair - and yep I think unique is my middle name!!
-
Hello, when I first saw the Conqueror a few years ago I immediately recognised the typical South African workmanship. Having lived in South Africa as a kid. I went right up to the salesman and asked where it was built it had to be South Africa. I am a fan of this camper albeit pricey for me.
-
Pricey for me too Dragongoose - but I just HAD to have him!!!
-
Hi & Welcome
You'll have to have the Jeep repainted to match Bill I think. Great looking CT. Velly Yealous

Hi, friends of ours will hopefully be picking up their UEV 490 any day now, and I can't wait to have a good look through it. They'll be with us and our group up on the Cape next year around the same time as you, so we'll keep an eye out for you and say Hi! :D
