Hi everyone (NOW WITH PICTURES OF CT !!)
« on: May 19, 2011, 12:12:02 PM »
Hi all,

Have looked up some really useful info here so thought I should join up.

We get around in a NS Pajero Exceed DiD and have recently purchased a Johnnos Off Road Deluxe (with goodies) to drag behind it. Most of our camping has been in tents so we are looking forward to the convenience and comfort that a decent CT will give us.

Main reasons for the Pajero:
Excellent on road manners, where I spend a lot of my time
Very comfortable
Value for money
Love that car :)
Extras:
2" OME lift
ARB bullbar
Winch
Lights
Traxide battery management system
GME 3440 UHF
And my favourite....... a Stiebel air horn to replace the crappy tin one it came with.

Main reasons behind the CT:
Want to go on longer trips
Chose the Johnnos due to the build quality and inclusions
The design of the tent is outstanding and so easy to put up and down
Kitchen is outstanding
Model we purchased is practically "finished" with 220A/H batter system, twin water tanks, awesome kitchen, electric tap, plumbed gas, nose cone, sleepout room, fixed lighting, annex walls, electric brakes etc, etc.

Looking forward to getting heaps more advice from everyone on here and to contributing to discussions.

Cheers,

Jason.

G'day Butsy, I love my Paj and have done quite a bit to it. Such a nice daily drive and more than capable on the weekend.

Gotta love the mix of MATT, rear diff lock, traction control and winch with electric leather seats and seat warmers !!!! hehehehe

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Had the car for a couple of years so will put some photos of that up and picked up the CT last night, so will put some photos of that up tomorrow.......... after I take them.......... :)

Going to put the main tent up tomorrow anyway to season the canvas. Fitting the brake controller to the Paj between hosing the tent.
