another trackabout ordered (finally)
« on: May 16, 2011, 04:40:57 PM »
Well I said it would be days but these things can't be rushed. We have placed our order for a Deluxe Tourer from Trackabout. We went with the 12 foot floor upgrade, extra battery cradle, extra water tank, fully enclosed annexe plus zip provisions on both sides of the tent for future flat sheet awnings. We upgraded to the Drifta Kitchen with return (huge) and JT is putting in some new storage boxes but you will have to wait to see those.
12 volt battery setup and drawbar side door finish off the deal.
So now about 8 weeks until delivery just in time for the July school holidays.
Thanks everyone for the tips and I'll update you when the baby delivered.

Big thanks to Tammy from Desert Track Campers and JT for all you help in our decision making.
Oh and JT feel free to add pics as she gets made..we are sooo far away no chance of a sneak peek :)

Congrats!

Quick update
Tent is done and our baby's back from the powdercoaters.
Should be done by Friday and on the truck for the long Perth trip by Monday.....oh the agony!!!

JT has some new pics on his site with the mudguard boxes I was talking about....such a beautiful thing!!

OK now to sell a couple of kids to make the final payment...it will be worth it  ;D
