Howdy..from the NSW Southern Higlands
« on: October 20, 2011, 10:17:40 AM »
Gday All,
Been lurking on myswag for quite some time now and decided it was time to register and say Hi.
I have spent the last few months building up my 07 Prado its now lifted/locked/racked/blah blah and ready to go and do some touring now.
I ordered my camper last Friday, and yes its a Pinnacle camper..the fully enclosed trailer.
It suited my budget and I thought good value for money, I am going to drive down from Sydney to Ballarat and check it over before I hand over any more than the deposit I placed on order just to make sure there are no surprises. I am aware of some things that will need to be looked at and modified but I am prepared for that.

Anyway...look forward to being part of the forum and maybe meeting a few of you at some stage.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul and welcome aboard.
CT looks the gear, only comment that I would make, is that if you can, upgrade to a 10" jockey wheel as it makes it easier to wheel it around on uneven ground.

We have to start thinking about what sort of a world we are going to leave for Keith Richards after we are all gone.
