Hi All,
Thought it was time to introduce myself. I have recently upgraded from tents and purchased a 2007 Johnno's premier light offroad from a forum member. My tow rig is a decked out Volkswagen Amarok.
So far the family and I have been up to Tocumwal to a caravan park on Melb cup weekend for a shake down run. All went well.
Mods so far. The camper has been well looked after, I have rewired most of the electrics adding a fuse box, resettable circuit breakers grommets for all cable entries.and some heavier gauge cabling back to the Amarok. I have permanently mounted some led light strips to the inside of the tent with the switch near the bed.and replaced the 2 x 97ah batteries that were on their last legs.
I have a 160w solar setup and 100ah battery in the Amarok with all batteries being powered by a traxide SC80 when hooked up. I have also added a weld on tow hitch receiver to the rear for the bikes.
My ball weight is a tad on the heavy side at 90kg with water in the front tank and jerry, I will soon be adding an under trailer water tank just rear of the axle.
We are heading to the High country this Friday for 3 days staying at Bindaree Hut so that should be a good test.
Thanks goes to all those that have helped me already without even knowing it just by contributing to the forum.
Cheers,
Barrel.
