Title: The Top 5 Mods
Post by: Tommo66 on March 15, 2012, 08:34:31 AM
G'day Swaggers,

If you're like us you'll have an endless list of mods that you're planning, or would like to do to the CT, what would you say are your top 5 ?

I guess quite a few of the CTs here might already have some of what i've listed but here's ours  ;D

 battery pack and complete lighting in and out
 12V water pump and sink
 fridge
 shower (for the ladies  ;D )
 an extra room

cheers

Tommo

No1.............ditto D4D, got one on each side of camper......just in case.  ;D bloody good mod   :cup:
No2.............ample solar power for most camping trips and led lights to save power.
No3.............2 x 40l Engel fridges, one for food and one for beer drinks.  :cheers:
No4.............Silver tarp covering the camper and annex, helps with the heat and storms are not an issue.
No5.............C Gear Matting, keeps the dirt and crap out of the camper, easy to sweep out and the sand goes straight through.
