Just joined up, I've been around a few other forums a while now (NTN for those that may recognise the username ;) )
Just doing a bit of research on a camper trailer. Looking at purchasing a Mars surveyor. Found one second hand I'm about to check out.
Mrs and I decided it was time to upgrade now that we have a youngin and the dog tagging along with us, the tent won't just cut with amount of stuff we drag along with us
- life is so much easier with yourself and the swag 
Looks like a wealth of knowledge about here, I know a few guys strutting about here that have talked about this place a bit.

Have been flat stick all weekend and haven't had a chance to even look at it properly. Maybe tomorrow
Might be time to put the big wheels back on the tri and get it all spruced up for our first trip!

If possible, set it up in the back yard for a while and let the rain season the canvas.

Look foward to some pics opened up mate :cheers:
Post by: dan.batto on July 17, 2016, 09:07:58 PM
and I'll never get it out. Another option is to do it under my pergola and keep wetting it with the hose everyday then let it dry out. Thanks black diamond, I'll be sure to do that!!!!

Verrry happy with it! I could only fit it setup like this for now. But gave it a good soaking a couple of times and let it dry over about 3/4 days. All packed up and ready to go camping now! Still need to do that brake controller though!
