Looks like you did a good job of seasoning the canvas.

Would pay to check the number plate wiring, mine was shorting out.

Looking good, it seems to have a heap of clearance. Have a great weekend and take a notepad to start the mods list

We had the same tyres fitted as what we run on the cruiser 285/75/16 (33's) BFG muddy's so it has a little more clearance than std ;D

Hopefully will get a bit mud on it this weekend :P :4x4:

I couldn't justify the amount of money they wanted for kitchen (I'm sure they are an excellent unit)so I'm planning on building my own slide out kitchen. Still deciding wheather to make bearing slides(eg below) or use that chopping board stuff? Any comments

Well we managed to sneak away last weekend for a couple of nights and we are over the moon with our new Tambo ;D. Trailer towed awesome, i think we did about 50km's on dirt roads/tracks including some ruff stuff and it handled great. We also played around with annex walls and started a list of things we need to get. Its funny we've done heaps of camping over the years from the back of the car, swags, multiple tents, camper trailer and back to tents and now the new Tambo so we have piles of camping stuff but there's always something else to make life a little easier especially now with a 2 & 3 year old! The kids had a ball and we are very happy with our investment :cheers:

G,Day Mudy80,you are making me have itchy feet. We have our Tambo Omeo and couldn't be more happier with it. That looks like a nice spot,is there a river near by?
Most of our camping is done in the high country and due to the current weather our trips away have been very limited but not for long ;D
Always looking for a new/close camp ground close to Melbourne for winter/colder months of the year!

PM me if you would perfer your favourite spots on the quite side.

Regards Making Tracks

Gday Making Tracks

We where at Kurth Kiln Regional Park, just off Scout Camp tk. There is a creek about 30mt from were we camped. There's not alot of level ground around but still a good spot. The beauty of this place is we can be there and setting up within an hour from home. :D

Next trip will be King Valley on Melbourne cup weekend :cheers:

Mudy,

Ya making me jealous, I can't get 'Cooper' my Tambo out of my factory at the moment (long story -people storing stuff in my factory for a short time that is now extending to a long time - they may find their stuff out on the street soon) I can't wait to get out again, the city is closing in. One of the most comforting  thoughts I have is that no matter where I go the Tambo will follow - no hassles, it'll just get the job done no matter what.  That is the greatest comfort you can achieve from a purchase like this - quality, pain free travelling.  You are now allowed to smile the smile of a Tambo owner (a very select and happy group) :cup:

Regards

Mark
