Perth newbie...Challenge Deluxe CT
« on: April 22, 2011, 11:43:43 PM »
Hi guys,
Newbie to this forum. I have been lurking for a few weeks doing plenty of research and reading. Decided on a soft floor camper due to an expanding family. I think we will benefit from the extra room. We have two young kids 3yrs and 7mths old. We're living in Perth but are fairly new to WA as we have only lived here for about 3yrs.
Well today we took the plunge and purchased a CT for the family. What an exciting day! We purchased a 2007 Challenge Off Road Deluxe camper. It's in very good nick and you can see that it has been very well looked after.
It came with plenty of extras such as the larger 12ft tent, full annex, massive toolbox, extended drawbar, deluxe kitchen, boat loader, C Gear mats and heaps more.
The large toolbox was custom made to fit an 80L Engel (which wasn't included). First purchase will have to be a fridge and I am looking for a 60L Evakool I think after doing heaps of reading (the old Waeco vs Engel vs other debate....).
Anyway, stoked with the new purchase and hopefully we can camp for a couple of nights over Easter somewhere. I've included a few photographs. The first few photos are on the back of our Toyota Surf. The last couple with the camper open are from the for sale ad as we haven't been camping in it yet.
I'm looking forward to joining in the banter of the forum and wish everyone a happy Easter.
stay safe.
cheers,

Welcome to Myswag.  Looks like you got a bargain with that so called seconhand camper.  Looks like it came straight off the showroom floor.

Hi BeeGee and welcome to the forum. Always good to see more WA members, that's a fantastic looking set up you have purchased there, well done. We are also relatively new to WA  (3 1/2 yrs ) and Perth ( 18mths ). No doubt you will have lots of fun exploring in your new toy.

Thanks guys.

We did get away for two nights over Easter so thought I would post a few photos. We just took it to a local beach for a couple of nights so that we could put it up properly and try it out. Loved it. Will need a bit of practice puting it up and down a few time to get into a routine though  :D
