Title: New Trak Shak Owner
Post by: Josh_WA on April 24, 2012, 02:56:06 PM
Hi Guys,

Josh here.  I usually hang out on the AULRO forum but have been lurking here for a long time.  We were finally able to place an order for a new Trak Shak the other week so it should arrive around the middle of June.

We went for the full package with the solar and fridges ect and also the kids room and annex so we are really stoked as it has been a dream of ours for a very long time. 

W have got a pretty capable 2006 Defender 110 Double Cab to tow it with and we can't wait to get out there and use it. No more sleeping onthe ground    :D

I think my boss is not going to be happy with me for the amount of time ive spent googleing CT things in the past few days out of sheer excitement. I look forward to learning all about my new CT and getting great ideas from all the stuff here.

Cheers

Josh

G'day Josh,

Welcome to the Forum.

Good luck with the Trak Shak - we had one as our first camper trailer and loved it.  Took it on many trips to the Flinders and a big Red Centre trip.  Just ensure the solar controller is programmed for the a/h batteries you have as ours wasn't when we took delivery.

John.

The wait is killing me now....we were supposed to take delivery in mid June but there has been delays for some reason or another. I asked the manufacturers questions about specific quality issues I've been informed of from previous owners via this forum sound like they are sorted now.....thanks guys :)

 Looks like the end of July or early August now, but hopefully there's a good reason. I'm itching to get this thing now as I've had 3 months of planning mods and my garage is nearly full of extra bits to add to it. Lol

we can't wait to get it out and do some exploring.

Cheers

Josh

We just spent the past weekend camping with our friends who took their new (used) Trak Shak out for their first shakedown run.

Very impressive unit and they were absolutely stoked (having heaps of room for their four kids was a real bonus too).

Hope the remaining time passes quickly for you...

Welcome Josh,

It feels like Christmas Eve when you were 7 every day you have wait for your CT.

Congratulations on the new camper.  We had a Trakshak for around 5 years and they are great units. 

Lots of space for kids and great when the weather is wet.  We used to set up the toilet tent and porta potty inside as an ensuite when the kids were small  :D

G'day & Welcome Josh, and congrats on your new CT purchase. Must be a difficult wait.

Does TrakShak have an agent in WA?

Hang in there Ashley....  It's worth the wait.....Ours arrived yesterday.  I't is AWESOME!  I will try and get some pics but wont be able to set it up until Sunday.  Ours seems to have had a few little extra tweaks where it looks like the local dealer has put in some extra effort to tidy up the wires and scrub it up nice for us.

Cheers
