Gday from WA
« on: January 02, 2011, 07:49:01 PM »
Hi all Ive been lurking here for a while so I thought it about time I introduce myself, names Glen and Im from Geraldton and I have a downunder camper made in WA. I have a big list of mods that i want to make to it but have yet too do. Here is a pic with my tow rig, A 91 GQ Patrol with a Gen 3 V8 and dual Air Locker's.



and here is a pic of it set up on a trip down south to the Murray River in Dwellingup.

I want to fit dual batteries and solar panels and boat racks, and run wiring around for lights and power points for the fridge and fit an inverter and also some brakes on it, but it all costs money and I'm out of work at the moment so everything is on hold till work picks up.

Welcome abord climb in to the zoo . You will enjoy as much as we do . Looks to me as though your 1st mod should be a washing machine to keep the little gec`s clean & tidy , judging by the pics . Work them out as you go allong .  :cheers:
