Not long now......waiting is the hardest part.

Looking forward to seeing some pics of it & it's trip home!!!!!

Did you get the new walk up model? What mods have you opted for?

Post by: elle.mac on August 13, 2012, 01:48:21 PM: The wait is the hardest we started the quote process back mid-april and its been a juggle of finances and arranging my husbands time off to suit the dry season to ensure we are back home before the Goyder river becomes impassible once the wet season starts.

We went with the standard off-road with the following main things:
12 Foot tent with provision for kids room
100mm lift
full annexe
Drifta DPOR with fridge box in Black S/S and the Drifta storage box with pantry to match and the Evakool fridge.
Jumbo toolbox
Double Pole holder
Extra jerry can holders
Plus a few others.

Can't wait to get it and also really looking forward to the 3 week trip home using it.

We purchased a Drifta standalone kitchen just before Easter and are VERY happy with it.

Sounds like you are getting a very nice setup.

Post by: elle.mac on August 20, 2012, 01:37:27 PM: Thanks. Kit_e first journey for it is the one home from Brisbane to Nhulunbuy and we are taking the long way home up the qld coast to Townsville before heading back west to NT with a detour to Lawn Hill, once back in the territory we will work our way up to Darwin before heading back down to Katherine for the final day drive from there home. - a good approximately 5800km trip home over 3weeks.

Post by: elle.mac on September 06, 2012, 07:29:48 PM: Argh over the wait still 3 and half weeks til pickup. Just had an email letting me know they have done the trailer and the canvas is in the cue to be done and we are still on track for our pickup date of 2nd October, plus the Drifta kitchen package is sitting there ready to go in. Its torture....anyone know how to speed up time??

Post by: elle.mac on September 25, 2012, 11:51:19 AM: Well the time has finally arrived, car is being loaded up today ready for the 3am start tomorrow morning - 5 days of driving until we reach Brisbane but most importantly 1 week until the Camper Trailer is hooked up to the Prado (finally). But just to tease everyone you will have to wait until November for pics as we are spending another 3 weeks coming home with it.

Post by: bunyip on September 25, 2012, 12:19:38 PM: Elle.mac,

Wahooo, bet you cannot wait.

Safe driving and enjoy your new camper.
