Great to see your New CT , the smell of new canvas,the feel the walls & the stiff fittings . The question of which way to point the doorway to be out of the wind . Its all good . Have a look around the yard to see if you can find some fire wood ( rip down the fence if you have to ) Enjoy :cup: :cheers:

Looks great. Any chance of some more photos as we are looking at getting a Customline in June/July. You sound very happy with your purchase.
Cheers and happy camping.

Mate if you set up that camper (as per pic) in 10 minutes, then you are doing very well. :D
It's takes me at least that long to remember where the hammer is. ;)
It looks like a nice design. The tropical roof is definitely something I wish I had. :(
Now remember when camping you need to get a bit further away from the house than that.
Happy Easter to everyone - Wayne

Looking great there, Nat! :cup:
Wow but that huge tent makes your trailer look tiny! ;D
Love the Customline for all the room it has, its more than you'll ever need and great that you've got the initial set up in under 10 minutes. I was recently putting mine up at a RFS training weekend amongst others putting up their tents. When I stood back and declared finished, everyone else was still trying to figure out where to put A into B! ;D ;D It made a few people come round and have a look, I can tell you!
So, you're still heading out with the old Chev are you or are you using that ex Ambo as your tow buggy now?

Got a question... where did you get the extention thingy on your kitchen?
+1 for more info on the extension thingy...like how does it connect with the tailgate kitchen and how does it pack away...its a great thingy
-

...and my apologies...its a Ford you guys have, not a Chev! Sorry!

Looking very good NatGav!
How very handy to have the house so handy to the camper till you are packed properly ... why didn't I think of that? I'm hoping you have something under the vinyl floor and over the gravel on the driveway? Don't want any holes before you've taken it somewhere.
I think your tow vehicle will work just fine. Let Gav know I think it's very Pretty. Where do the pups travel?
Duchess ... How very good of you to know it was a Ford ... I just went with excellent old and a great paint job!! ;D

No, I thought it was a Chevy that Nat had but I was wrong, its a Ford (but I won't hold that against them! ;D) Should have taken my clue from the F150 in the back ground...
Anyway, I profess no bias towards one classic or another...a classic is a classic, regardless of its marque, IMO! (I'm just as likely to be enjoying a ride in my mates 67 Mustang as enjoying the classic lines of a 67 Camaro! :cheers:)
-
Duchess,
I understood Classic and 67 ... *passes hand over head front to back* for the rest. LOL! Don't worry I can't tell the new ones apart either.

Great set up!
Ensuite shower and toilet, big screen in private rec room, fully equipped campers kitchen, free laundry facilities,
Got to love camping.

im thinking the car is indeed a Ford "Customline ;D
HOw cool is that..towing ya customline with ya customline :cup:
-
I love my mustangs....we also have a 1934 ford in the process of being built..on hold at the moment.
Wholehog, the car is a ford mainline...based on the customline desgin but a Ute version for us aussies...none the less a mainline towing a customline is just as cool...
We had weekend giving the camper its first shake down. It was nice to have the house just behind us and to be honest if the camper and us just got through that weekend we should be totally fine one the road..
Rock, hard floor, stong winds, hail and rain....great test weekend...train hard and fight easy...
Here are the photos of the kitcken....(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb1-a1ab-4265.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb1-a1bc-06cf.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb1-a1d0-bac4.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb1-a1de-0c49.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb1-a1e9-a558.jpg)
Going to update our blog....
