Here we go
« on: April 29, 2013, 08:59:27 PM »
Hi there everyone. 

Obviously my first post and my chance to introduce myself. 

After being surrounded by an extended family of CT users we decided to borrow a trailer for a trip.  Couldn't have gone better so we have decided to take the plunge.  Have a Johnno's Off-Road Deluxe on order after a couple of big days tramping around Rosehill Racecourse.

Tow will be a 2012 Kluger (for now) whilst we work out all the places we want to go and what we will need to get there.

Pictures will follow once we have taken delivery.

First (of many) questions relates to which electronic brake controller to install.  I'll post something over in one of the Technical boards to get some help.

Looking forward to your support as our big adventures in the CT start.

Cheers

Dustin

Hi there Dusty, wow, now you've bitten off a whole big bite buying a CT and telling us, the piccy hungry folk here will want a photo of every mod you do from now on.  Oh, welcome to you all there too, glad you could join in.

Hi Dusty,

Welcome to the forum.  We are like a gigantic extended family, so I'm sure you'll feel right at home soon enough.

Welcome to the forum Dusty.
Here is a link on a poll for what brand of brake controllers the Swaggers use. Tekonsha is pretty popular.  see you around the forum.
