Hi All
Just bought my first CT second hand from a local guy. The camper is in good nick but have some work/mods to do to the trailer. I liked it because it is a 8x5 trailer so lots of room for the missus and I and the 3 kids.

I already have a list of mods a mile long but just need the time and money to do them.
I think ill start with 12V setup with solar/dc-dc charger and 240v charger to run lights/water pump
then start on a kitchen setup to slide in the tray.

Welcome to the group! The family will love the camper.

Whereabouts in Brisbane are you? where do you normally head camping?

I am counting down the days for a trip up the beach fishing.  :D

Hey Coiled

I have moved up to the north side - Bray Park. I have not done a lot of camping down this way as I only recently moved back from Mackay after 8 years up there. Do love going to Fraser Island and Tewantin Beach/ 40 Mile.

I am looking for some more places to go around Brisbane that are kid friendly

Welcome :) Love that blue! we bought a preloved camper too :) 8x5's are a really good size! we had one in a regular cage trailer and it was HUGE and could fit so much in, wasn't too bad to tow either although we did find that moving from VIC to NSW it did increase the rego a lot :(

I'm heading to Double Island tomorrow. We are definitely spoilt for beach choices. I am yet to do Bribie properly but also hear it is great for a short weekend trips. There are plenty of bush options in the South West and if you cross over the boarder into NSW you get into some quite country that is free or cheap to camp.

Hopefully see you around somewhere soon.

How big is your family..      ;D
You get out and in to the world -- you take more @#&$. ...You climb a little higher, ..you take less @#&$.  ...Till one day -- you're up in the rarefied atmosphere -- and you've forgotten what @#&$ even looks like....  Welcome to the layer cake son.

wattsy29

Yeah we are. I am taking the family up to Fraser Island for the September school holidays.
Yeah I will have to get out and try a few of the bush options

Yeah it's a fairly big ct. Works out 10m x 4.4m when fully setup.
