Title: Hey Hey All!
Post by: ashd on October 24, 2012, 08:59:36 PM: Hey all .. We're long time campers, but new camper trailer owners :D

We recently picked up a Swag Camper 9ft quickfold trailer a few months back and have been busy making some storage boxes and a kitchen for it (we decided to not get one that is attached to the tailgate so we could have better access to the trailer).

I'm currently getting everything I need to do the 12v wiring. Already have a nice deep cycle battery, 120w solar panel and a bunch of cig, merrit and anderson plugs/connectors (just need to find some well priced cable - I was thinking of jgmdirect unless anyone else has some better ideas)

Anyway .. on to some pictures!! (hopefully they work)

Packing up the trailer with the storage boxes. Clockwise - big storage box for chairs, tarps, ladder etc., food storage box, small box with lights, torches and stuff, and then the kitchen box

Kitchen box - not quite finished! Need to add 2 drawers into the middle 2 shelves and a door on each end. We found a set of cheap $3 folding stools that we are using for temporary legs until we come up with something better

Tent all put up on a quick weekend away at Pottsville.

We're looking at heading back out to Gordon Country very soon before we head off to Coffs for a week in December.

Anyway .. Hi

Good looking tent set up on the camper, I love the idea and look of those tropical roofs. Might try and retro fit one to my Downunder.

Look forward to seeing posts of your setup ;D

Cheers Mike and Tracy :cheers:

To MySwag,
There is nothing better than building stuff yourself, It's looking good.
Start a thread in the My Camper trailer section, that way you can show us all how it is coming together.
Hope you enjoy your time here.
:cheers:
