Another Newbie from CQ
« on: October 01, 2013, 09:10:28 AM »
Hello All,
Ive been posting for a few weeks now and i figured i should make an introduction considering i now have my camper trailer.
I bought a Market Direct Tbox v3 and picked it up on Friday. I spent 2 days camping in Brisbane with it before i went back to Rockhampton.
It towed great and i averaged about 10lt\100km in My 2012 Nissan Navara. The  trailer was half loaded with stuff. I used the prodigy P3 as recommended by the guys here. it worked great!

I know MDC doesn't have the best name but it should do all i need it to and at the right price. I cant say too much about the customer service at the main store once they had our order we didnt exist. but the guy at the depot was fantastic he spent 30 minutes going through all the features with us and how to look after it.

The trailer itself is great! Its setup in my backyard so i can start modding it. Electrical is the first thing im going to start doing with LED strip lighting number 1 priority. I also think i will replace the ugly MDC mud flaps with some nice CAT ones from work.

Welcome aboard, nice looking bit of kit,  this was the only other CT I was considering before I eventually decided on the lifestyle.   No doubt we will see you around the place.
