Hi from Melbourne
« on: December 11, 2013, 04:50:29 PM »
Hi I've been looking on the forum for a little while and found it useful so joined up to help learn a few more things about the camper trailer world.... I bought a extreme offroad camper at the melb show last year and slowly trying to get it ready to take the family away early next year....so far fitted some tubes for the poles, a tool box on the side for the ropes and pegs and starting to get some power fitted to it....

The tool box I mounted on the mud guard to hold the pegs and ropes......


Tubes to hold all the poles and am going to mount a cage on top for some more storage...

The power box I fitted today with 3 plugs under the bed will fit more in the tent when I set it up.... The ark box is a perfect fit in the jerry can holder but its abit slow to charge up so might fit another charger to speed it up....
