I do not mean to be rude, but does everyone think that an introduction topic is the right place to debate the problems experienced by a member of this forum. I was happy to come and say hello, excited about my new acquisition, where I was personally happy with the service I received. No, all I feel is dismay at basically being told that I have been coned/ shafted/ not been honest with. That there product is inferior and I should not have bought it. Just give consideration to how this would make a new member feel.

BTW I was already aware of Lost’s issue with the cover, I personal do not trust things being delivered like this, so I drove to QLD from Sydney and picked mine up.

No. You're right, it is not.

I'm happy with mine, you're happy with yours, plenty of others are happy. I got plenty of virtual pats on the back when I posted about mine, and plenty of help and advice before that.

It's a shame the mis-placed comments have given you the wrong impression.

There is a genuine effort here to make you as welcome as any other new member. It is unfortunate that this thread has been used as a platform to lambast this particular manufacturer. I should off picked it at post 2.

Anyway, it will end here and any further inflammatory posts will be deleted.

Mikew,
Welcome and congratulations on the new toy. Your a step ahead of plenty of people on here including myself. You have your new camper trailer . Get out and enjoy it and get it dirty.

MikeW, welcome.

We are also very happy owner's of a Lifestyle Extenda Elite.

We drove from Melbourne to Queensland to pick ours up, service was excellent.

We even scored a second water tank free of charge for our trouble.

Haven't had much of a chance to use it as yet, five nights on the way home and then a weekend in the Mitchell River National Park.

It has performed flawlessly, you will love it. We are staying in it for 14 nights over the Christmas period.

I would be very interested in seeing some pics of how you have set up the electrics.

PS. Thank you to oldturtle22 and Rod Camping for finally stating the bleeding obvious.

MikeW

I am sorry, welcome to the forum I am extremly happy with the service I have recieved from Lifestyle and I had mine shipped up to me in Townsville.

They are a great bunch pf blokes and after sales service is excellent.

I hope you get half as much enjoyment as we have out of our extenda. In just over 12 months we have spent the best part of 2 months away in it and travelled approx 3800km.

Cheers Rod....

G'day & Welcome Mike, seriously

Yes I was hiring from Sydney, Best place I hired from was Crocodile Campers out past picton. they have the treckabout campers. I have no affiliation with Dave, just found him pleasent and honest to deal with, and he uses decent campers.

Regards
Mike

BigJules · « **Reply #37 on:** December 16, 2010, 04:24:44 PM »

Oh, I misread it as you had campers for hire.

I've hired a few, all good experiences, but it's nice to have your own camper packed and ready to go, and then after the trip you just unhitch it and you're home.

Welcome from another Lifestyle owner, enjoy, and get into it. Would like to see pics of elecs as about to build a toolbox set up on mine to enclose solar reader, invertor, charger and 240v plug.

Cheers

Chris

mikew · « **Reply #41 on:** January 20, 2011, 05:53:08 AM »

I have not finished the electrics as yet, but I have added a in progress pic, still some tidy up work to carry out, finish the 12 power run and fit the 240 volt input plug. I am doing all the 240v work myself with the guidance from a licensed electrical friend; I am a sparky just not on domestic 240v.
I Will start a post in the elect section when it is complete with all the pic's

Looking good Mike

I am hoping to be an owner of a extenda elite really soon, just waiting for the right one to turn up otherwise she will be a brand spanker. I like the look of you power box and Ill be doing a lot of modifying of mine when i get it. Did you end up getting a DC to DC charger from liferstyle? If so what brand do they use, the quote i got the other day just says charger and doesnt give a brand and id like to do some research.

Iv been trying to decide if i need an inverter over the past few days but cant seem to think what i actually need it for, the only thing i can think of is a bread toaster. what do you intend using all of your 240 volt sockets for?

Ben

mikew · « **Reply #46 on:** March 02, 2011, 12:08:13 PM »

The DC to Dc charger supplied with the camper was a Projecta 20A.
http://www.projecta.com.au/catalogue/cid/56/asset_id/169/

As for the Inverter I use it to run chargers for laptops, kids games and cameras ect, it will run the Hairdrier of SHMBO or a small microwave when needed, although that is not very often. You can get around this if you get all the required device chargers in 12 volt.

I am still trying to finish this part of the camper. when finished I will post the finish product.

Regards
Mike
