Long Time Listener first time caller
« on: February 21, 2012, 08:34:41 AM »
Hi All,

Been a stalker for a few months now.
Just purchased myself a new (second hand) camper. It is a 7x4 offroad trailer built buy a company in Newcastle, tool box, stone guard, 63ltr water tank, kitchen and hand pump, gas bottle and 2 x lockable jerry can holders, brand new sunraysia wheels and tyres and electric brakes.
On top is an Oztrail 9 tent. The camper is about 5 years old and perfect for my first camper. I picked up cheap as well which is even better.

Next I want to run a 12v system throughout.

Already taken out for a short week of camping on the NSW coast. The canvas didn't leak at all and was easy to set up after working out what goes where.
Bought a what?
Researching my next camper

Welcome JusyApples. What a great name. Might have to rehash that thread from a while ago about how you came up with your name. It's very addictive here. Enjoy.
