Title: new on MYSWAG
Post by: Steven on June 06, 2012, 07:10:03 AM

Hey there,

Thanks to the ARB-mag I found my way to this forum. My wife and I live in Belgium, Europe. Since 1 year we own a Conqueror Commander. It was only 1 year old when we found it on the net. After some small adjustments and a small repair in the electric wiring we tested it with a trip to Germany and Italy. This trip learned us a lot regarding which adjustments still had to be made to make it complete.

Here's a list from the trailer at this moment :

Original :

-kitchen with cuttlery for 6 persons
-outside shower with hot water boiler on 220v or 12v in combination with gas.
-pop-up roof
-sleeping tent over the hitch
-2 awnings (1 on each side) over the kitchen and shower, completely closable with seperate tent screens on both sides
-spare tire (same size as the towing car)
-2x20l jerry-cans for diesel
-BBQ mounted on the spare tire of the trailer
-axe and shovel
-150l water tank

Aftermarket placements from last winter:

-small heater on 220v
-2x80w solar panels roof-mounted
-1700w 12v-->220v converter for heater and charging of batteries from camera etc
-led-lighting under the kitchen awning (220v)
-extra 12v sockets inside trailer with USB-connection
-40l compressor fridge from Engel


The towing car is a Nissan Navarra pick-up (D22) from september 2006. This has a fully closed bed with aluminium plating and a bar with Hella driving lights and a reverse-/worklight mounted.

I'll try to add some pictures later on from this combo and the trailer set up for the night...

greetings,

Steven & Anne

Here's the combination car-trailer. The car has a Warn-multimount 2" in front installed to fit a towing hook for easy moving of the trailer on difficult spots.
