Hello all, long time lurker new time member. Well where do we start.
The family is made up of 5, My wife Jo, my Kids, Mitch 15, Lachy 13, Caity 10 and me Anthony (45 going on 15) We are a family who love the outdoors, we have a little holiday sahck on the Mitta river at Mitta Mitta which we use a lot. Then we have the "CFC" "Cowan Family Camper" this is a true one off original camper trailer. The trailer is my design with bits by me and bits by others. The rolling stock was built by Aus trailers in Mordialic Melb, as i said the design was mine and they did a great job putting my ideas into steel. The other bits include a couple of Drifta products, The kitchen is a modified DSO "Drifta Swing out" attached to the tailgate. We also have our "wardrobe" the DFSD storage drawer which slide into the tent and gives us a nice bench as well. I dont have a huge amount of pics so i will get off my butt and take few. The tent was purchased from EZYTRAIL and we have been pretty happy with it (some mods required)
The 12 volt system was my doing and consists of a 120 amp hr Deep River gel batt, with a dual stage Ctek and ABR sidewinder Dual batt management system. This powers a 60lt Engel along with 21lt Engel we use as a freezer. It also throws a bit of light about when required. We mainly free camp when travelling with the odd stop in more hospitable places when some washing or just a bit of domestication is required. It is now 2 years old and has done 2 big trips with numerous weekenders thrown in. The 2 big ones were 90% dirt with some pretty hard going involved, so you can say its been well tested and still going strong.
We are off to cape york in July and I am just making a few tweaks to the old girl. I will update when done.
