Hi from the Central Coast

[Bob]

Hi,

Found this forum via a mate who's on here, hi Vince.
We've been researching campers for a few months and couldn't find anything we liked in our budget, happened to be at Vince's the other week and he gave us the grand tour of his "bitza camper", ah-ha!

So I did some research on trailers and ended up at GICs factory in Sydney on our way south last month, put in an order for one of their off road trailers, they were better value for money than anything I'd looked at near home.
Some research on the web found our tent, we wanted a smaller off the rear tent, there is only the minister for finance and myself so a big tent wasn't needed, we found it at Kangaroo tent city in Nth Parramatta all on display, the MFF doesn't like to buy without seeing the goods so this was a bonus, they promised to have one at the shop the same day we were going to pick up the trailer, this they did, we picked both up and bought them home.

Here's a pick of the MFF soaking the canvas.



We took the CT out for it's maiden voyage last weekend, we were suitably impressed, I'll be perusing this forum for some ideas for mods.

Bob.

Hi Bob and MFF welcome to the forum

Welcome to myswag, nice camper, does it have a 12V system?  

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

No 12volt system or water tank, our 80 series cruiser is set up to carry 25 litres in the rear quarter panel and another 45 litres in the space between the rear seats and cargo barrier, last weekends maiden voyage we plugged the lights into the power outlets on the rear drawer sysem.

Im a great believer in the K.I.S.S system  

Hi Bob and MFF welcome to the forum

We'd better put a stop to the MFF eh!
She is very computer literate

Hi,


I too am on the Central Coast and from the foto you posted it could 'almost' be a hard floor camper trailer.

I/we own a Camp-O-Matic Ranger GL hard floor camper trailer which also has the tent area towards the rear (just with a hard floor that's about 6 inches off the ground) It only takes about 3-4 minutes to set up for overnight stays, as long as we don't want the side awning up, then it's another 20 minutes or so.

Love camping etc... as well as camp cooking...(always looking for new recipes for the Cobb cooker)

G'day & Welcome Bob.

Got any plans for your camper yet? Battery, lights, kitchen?

[Bob]

First mod would be a tool box and pole storage on the draw bar.

We used the electrics off the cruiser last weekend, also the cruiser is well set up to carry water, and cooking gear.

At the moment we'll keep the camper simple and see how we go.

Nice set up mate....at least you wont forget this next time you do the trials down south

Now that Mon has seasoned the canvas there is no excuse for not washing it when it gets dirty
