Shakedown cruise
« on: July 08, 2015, 12:43:17 PM »
Just finished our shakedown cruise in the new CT.  All went well.  Not even any fights during the setup and pulldown  :)

Copious notes were taken and I now have a nice list of the bits and pieces that will make it even more comfortable.

Of note, the LED lights I strung up for testing were superbright, and are all we will need.  These are the ones I used http://www.jaycar.com.au/Active-Components/Optoelectronics/LED-Modules/IP65-LED-Light-Module-String%2C-10x-3x5050-LEDs%2C-Warm-White/p/ZD0596

and so, the proof that we did it :) ...

LOL - reminds me so much of living in our CT for 12 months - shuffling the table and chairs around the camper between breaky, lunch and tea!

Congrats on the setup she looks like a ripper. Enjoy !

Thanks.   We are very happy.  As you can see, we didn't use, and really don't need the annex, provided we are prepared to find the shade :)

Yep, the Emu.  Can't wait to get it out in the country and camp in it for real.

I think we will.  One of the reasons for the quick tryout was for my wife to see if she still enjoys camping.  It's been many years.

I have to say, I think the deciding factor was the portapotti with private ensuite tent :)  That and cold wine and beer from the electric fridge.
