Hi from Ipswich QLD
« on: April 14, 2014, 08:21:25 PM »
Hi all, have been on a week or so and thought it time to say hello rather than lurk in the background. Recently purchased an MDC T Box, so far pretty happy with it for the price, some areas could be better, minor things really but generally not to bad. Have heard lots of good and bad info on them, but we are happy with the camper and serves our purposes, no plans on heading to the cape or across the country just a bit of beach camping etc for us.

Have added some 12v power, electric tap and pump and generally sorting out what I need and dont need. Have spent a bit of time camping in a tent and just sick of set up time and sleeping on the ground. Having only had it out once since we purchased, still sorting out stuff. Recent overnight to Moogerah Dam to see how it all works was handy, couple of pics for those interested. Other hobby is kayak fishing, mainly chasing Bass in the local rivers, but any fish from the kayak is a good one.

Great site by the way, awesome for trailer mods etc, and camp sites always good to get some real reviews rather than camp ground spin, thanks for reading.   ;D

Welcome to the forum mate.  You'll find plenty of info to assist in setting up your trailer although it sounds like you are pretty well setup now.   :cheers:

Welcome Grant,
Lotsa info. on the Forum, looks like you already have a a bit of clue.
Wouldn't want too big a fish on the hook.
You might have a much longer paddle back to Camp than you expected.
