Just bought a Camel Beachcomber and am in the process of modifying it with some essentials like a 120AH battery to keep the Fridgemate cold, or more importantly it's contents. Also looking at solar panels.

Being on Mr Abbot's geriatric payroll I'm not real flash with cash, so will be mainly free camping.

Hope to spend next winter in the north with the GRR and Kimberleys high on my bucket list. I'm also a keen photographer with a love of the outback.

At present I have all the bits to do the wiring for a CTEK D250S Dual DC/DC charger in the camper via an Anderson plug on the rear of the Triton so I have heaps of questions, hopefully not to many dumb ones.

Looking forward to finishing my set-up and hopefully catching up with some of you at a weekend get-away.

Cheers

Thanks all for the warm welcome. 

Just back from BCF and Bunnings with a fridge stand, some rubber mats to go under the tent floor and an el cheapo 2 burner stove.

Seems like most of my mods seem to revolve around the fridge and keeping it's contents at about 3°C

Welcome - just new myself, but haven't bought yet.. still deciding

Good choice for over wintering: The Kimberley is #1 on my favorite parts of Australia (so far) list.  GRR is #2.  ;)

Welcome Cage. You have made a good decision to head North in the cooler part of the year...Its fairly hot and humid up here at the moment. We are also heading to the  Kimberleys next year and have  allowed a few months to take it all in.
All the best
