Hi all,
After substantial time lurking around this site, I guess I should do some intro's!
After 12 months of research and hiring CT's over weekends to check them out, we finally purchased a Camel 6 weeks ago.
We originally started with a shortlist of about 6 and slowly whittled it down to 2, Camel and Customline. They both represent excellent value and had all the extras we want.
In the end the difference was that the Camel crew come to the Adelaide Camping shows and have an excellent local rep. If Customline were on the ground at the recent show then ?????
We ended buying a 2010 Beachcomber (Discoverer) with the plus option of a walk in bed.
We has a quick weekend away recently to Robe to bed it down and are going at Clare this Long weekend.
We currently have a Kluger that we are very happy with. The only thing that wasn't anticipated is the sag at the rear end of the kluger. This is partly due to the walk in CT design which adds additional tow ball weight, so upgraded suspension is on the cards.
Got lots of mod's planned, all thanks to people on this great forum!!
Will be adding in electrics and LEDS in the near future, ready for trip down great Ocean Road. At this stage the only mod is the cutting board that I have added and routed it to fit the sink cut out. This gives us a lot more bench space. Please notice the Masterchef emblem on the board.... this is for the highly anticipated "Masterchef Camping series". Instead of of a fully stocked pantry, they have only 1 kitchen box with 10 ingredients!!   :D
NT Pajero, Lots of nice stuff
Camel Camper, More nice stuff!!!
