Just bought my 1st CT!
« on: December 05, 2011, 08:15:03 PM »
Hi all,

I've been hanging in the background on this site for a little while now, asking the odd question about CT's. Well i have just taken possession of a Hard Floor Modcon CT with a reasonable amount of `fruit' as most would say on this site. No photo of it yet but will post one soon.

Really looking forward to giving it a trial run somewhere on the mid north to north coast of NSW after Christmas so if anyone has any suggestions i would welcome them. The CT is set up to free camp, however i don't think it would be wise on the virgin run.

Hi Niley
To My Swag,
Mate there are plenty of places.
If you wanted to Free camp the is Cangai and along the Mann River, if you wanted facilities The Mann River C/Park is next to river as well.
If you have kids, the Nymboida Canoe Centre is a great place to stay in the hotter weather.
Or if you wanted to be by the coast, you could try, Illaroo Camping Area
There are heaps of choices around the Clarence Valley.
Happy & safe travels.
 :cheers:

Hi all,

Finally picked up the Modcon. Its a bit wet at the moment so setting up for photos is not an option. Most likely will post photos of or 1st trip with unit under `My Camper Trailer' in the new year

Neil

PS Hope hope the photo upload worked as this is a 1st for me! If not will try again!
