Shakedown cruise

slowtrip · July 08, 2015, 12:43:17 PM

Just finished our shakedown cruise in the new CT. All went well. Not even any fights during the setup and pulldown

Copious notes were taken and I now have a nice list of the bits and pieces that will make it even more comfortable.

Of note, the LED lights I strung up for testing were superbright, and are all we will need. These are the ones I used http://www.jaycar.com.au/Active-Components/Optoelectronics/LED-Modules/IP65-LED-Light-Module-String%2C-10x-3x5050-LEDs%2C-Warm-White/p/ZD0596

and so, the proof that we did it

LOL - reminds me so much of living in our CT for 12 months - shuffling the table and chairs around the camper between breaky, lunch and tea!

Congrats on the setup she looks like a ripper. Enjoy !

Thanks. We are very happy. As you can see, we didn't use, and really don't need the annex, provided we are prepared to find the shade

Yep, the Emu. Can't wait to get it out in the country and camp in it for real.

I'm very keen to hear how you go with it.

I think we will. One of the reasons for the quick tryout was for my wife to see if she still enjoys camping. It's been many years.

I have to say, I think the deciding factor was the portapotti with private ensuite tent

That and cold wine and beer from the electric fridge.
