Another new member with a new CT
« on: May 27, 2011, 10:28:50 AM »
Hi all,

Been lurking on and off for a couple of weeks while I waited for my trailer to finally arrive. Picked it up and took it home last weekend. Hopefully I'll get out in a few weeks to try it out properly (slept in it in a mates yard before driving home).



Looks like there's lots of useful info here. I've been camping for many years but new to trailer camping. I don't know what to do with all the storage space LOL.

Thanks for the welcome all.

I spent over 2 years looking around at camper trailers (and then had this on order for 7 months) and even looked into building one. Funnily enough the Tvan was the first one I looked at and at the time I said to myself "Really nice but no way I'd ever pay that" LOL. As for room I don't have a family so I really can't see myself filling it any time soon. It'll be real luxury camping though.

D4D, yeah had the wheels and tyres matched so I could swap spares between them. Wheels are a different finish but same model. In typical fashion when I bought them for the Pajero I wanted silver finish but shadow chrome was the only finish. This time around I wanted shadow chrome to match the existing set and wouldn't you know it, only available in silver now.

Welcome, With that set up you should have most areas covered without any problems.
How do you find the SWB towing?

dno, nothing planned yet but I'm hoping to head out for a quick overnighter mid to late June. Just something local to try it out and get a feel for it offroad. A mate is looking to do a Simpson crossing and I'm considering joining him but I've got some planning and prep and a few short trips to get a feel and confidence with it to do first so we'll see.

GU Rich, so far I've only towed it back to Sydney from Canberra but it tows just fine. Other than moving off from a stop I wouldn't have even known it were there except I kept forgetting and trying to check traffic in my rear vision mirror. I've only ever towed a box trailer once before towing this and the box trailer was a lot more trouble, especially reversing.

Welcome Mate.

I am only new on here myself, but the people are awesome. It is a great forum, I am on another well known one as well and some over their can be a bit up tight and snoby. This one is the go!

G'day & Welcome.

You're good to go, that's for sure. Have you got the factory locker in the Paj?
