What can I say Carl, it seems that this Linda person has habit of interfering in these highly important issues? Especially when lots of money is involved!!!!!!!

Bugger, another good project scuttled

Oh ok, long day mate.

We were there from 9am till 1.30pm. The only Swaggers we saw was Redback and Mrs Redback (Kaos).

We were there from 11am till 1530 and meet up with Lcandlc And Silvo, bought some rescue tape and had a ggod look but didn't see any one else, but heard Broady was hiding there somewhere, possibly wanted Roothy's autograph

Mission accomplished and came home with my Bushman fridge. Was also looking to pick up a new compressor but the only one that looked the goods was the Bluetongue but it was a little steep $$$ wise on the day. Still hunting for that elusive value for money reliable jobbie.

projecta typhoon, i saw them at the show for $150.. great price. it's portable, in a plastic case, but i mounted mine permanently in the draws in the back of the 4wd.

also, i don't think the bushman is settling at all.. that is a great fridge!

i met up with Brody and Megan, and their little bub Sarah..

also saw the riff raff there - CRW..

i didnt spend any money.. which is surprising, i did like the look of the ironman swag though. and almost bought a cheapie compressor from those solar boys at seven hills.

I did see those Projector jobbies but they are the same construction as my Supa Cr@p jigger that I have had to reaffix and then replace the spring steel reed valve in the cylinder head. Pretty keen to try a different design and not go there again, especially with two cylinder heads that could let go.

Great choice Snow. I have used one once or twice and was very impressed. The collar options are fantastic and all included for the standard price.

My kids with Milo waiting to see Roothy today

Redback · « **Reply #32 on:** August 28, 2011, 04:52:30 PM »

We were expecting it to be bigger, I also thought there would be more camper makers too, but we made the best of it, got there around 10.30, left around 3.00, we had a look at the Opposite Lock stand (teeing up accesseries for the new rig, bought a new Hillbilly BBQ plate, a portable Vacuum sealer(this works a treat)

Good to see you again Snow, good fridge the Bushman.

Roothie sh1ts me too tears!!

I missed out this year due to family commitments; daughter and i were real keen on seeing the show again this year. Anyway, the way I see at least I saved a few $'s from not going along.

MDS69 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 28, 2011, 07:28:17 PM »

Went today. Got there about 10.40am and left about 3.00pm. Not too bad but I expected it to be bigger compared to last year. Spoke to one of the exhibitors and he mentioned that the sites were a bit more spaced out which did give the impression of not being as crowded.
Looked at a few things. Liked the Hillbilly gear and when I got home I was kicking myself for not picking something up. Had a pretty good look at the Complete Campsite CT's after seeing Dan's the other week. Looked at some 12V stuff for ideas then hit the frog and toad.
Didn't part with any cash.

Thanks to those who dropped by the Jackaroo Club stand and spotted a certain Navara on display and figured I'd be hiding there somewhere - in plain view as it turned out.......managed to get one step closer to the goal of finding the perfect trailer....

And Adrenalin.....

Pity the only one that can build a trailer with D40 Navara wheels is rubbish above the chassis

Went along yesterday and picked up a Hillbilly fire spike / cookstand and a 400mm frypan. Thought the show was alright but went last year too, so knew what to expect

You haven't checked out Explorer Campers then...? They can build your camper with D40 Navara wheels, and are top quality from the wheels upwards!

Just did a search and found your website.....Only 1 off road trailer states the type of suspension and its the one with a photo of one of your trailers suspensions and its a different type to what's listed below. Just hope you build a trailer better than your website....

I'm looking for something I can take off road with independent suspension....

Complete Campsite uses Vehicle Components in Qld to provide Suspension, hubs etc and as such should be able to accommodate the D40 Navara wheels and they are certainly not rubbish above the chassis

They have independent suspension and are more than capable off road in any condition you want to put them in

Bird · « **Reply #47 on:** August 31, 2011, 01:43:30 PM »

I would have thought any campertrailer place could build you a trailer with what ever stud pattern you asked for..

kiva · « **Reply #48 on:** August 31, 2011, 02:03:27 PM »

When we ordered ours, we were asked what stud pattern we would like.

rescue1 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 01, 2011, 12:56:25 PM »

The D40 Navara has a PCD of 6/114.3 and a bore of 66.1mm the bore is not large enough to allow clearance for the bearings used on most 12 inch drums (10 inch are OK).

All of the trailers in my short list will match track rim size and tyre for me but I might just go with a cheap import to start with if I win the eBay auction that is.
