gday from the nsw mid north coast.
« on: February 13, 2011, 07:38:41 PM »
Hi guys,

Great site, makes things so much easier when researching. Ordered my new (first) CT this morning after much searching and deliberation.
Checked out a load of campers at the Newcastle show this weekend and decided to go with a Camel bushman with a few extra specs.SS kitchen,12v with leds,gal dipped,boat rack.




Cheers
Pete
I dont mind going to work, its the 8 hours  i have to wait to go home again that annoys me.

About 5 to 6 weeks wait.
Now that ive got 2 kids in tow the days of my old troopy and a swag are long gone so i figured this was the way to go.
The camel bushman comes with a fair bit already on it, delux kitchen,12v set up interior lights,2 x gas and jerrys holders stone guard etc, but the deal at the  show was a full annex with floor thrown  in and and we wanted the gal dip and a rack for the canoe.
Weve got a reasoable tow wagon , a 99 prado with 2 inch arb lift, dual batts, cooper stt,arb bar ,ipf spotties.Its not my troopy but
Need more with the sprogs now.Want to show them what i saw when i spent 7 years travelling and working around oz

Thanks for the welcome, hope I can help out one day.
I dont mind going to work, its the 8 hours  i have to wait to go home again that annoys me.
