Hi Roons1234, welcome to myswag and congrats on the new CT.
My only words of advice are don't be in too much of a hurry with mods and additions, even down to accessories and camping gear.
Get out and use it and discover from real life what you need most and what works best. Most importantly, have fun and lots of it.

Nice purchase there mate! These were high on my list for a new camper but now I've decided to settle on a second hand aussie built soft floor model for about the same money. (When I find the right one)
Make sure you let us know how it is as here isn't much feedback about these things but they do look great

Hi Jakster,

I have checked around aswell there is a few topics that talk abit about the Ecomate but other the the promo sight there's bugger all.
Theres a post that said that they are a branch off from Mod Con Campers, I have herd nothing bad so far other then the no name shocks and toe hitch other then that its all been good.
Jeff has been awesome and helpful threw the hole process and has thrown in a solar kit and new alloys as well, ill give ya the heads up when I receve the new fella next week and give ya a run threw aswell, I'm still waiting on derlivery sometime next week its driving me crazzy lol :)
talk later mate.

Congratulations mate, i too will hopefully have an Ecomate in my garage soon ( forward fold model)
I will be taking my boys to the show this weekend too but there doesn't appear to be many CT manufacturers attending. From the web site i can only recall MDC, Ozzie Campers, Cub atending.

Its a shame because the one in mackay had a good range of companies including Aussie swag etc. which i would have loved to have seen

Hi wilson,

Congrats mate on your purchase also just wondering did you go through the dealer in Townsville ?, I also check out the forward fold camper, and its not to shabby ether.
I would of went with it also but there is only two of us and I can always buy the extention if the unexpected happens, but even if that happens we still got a few years before upgrades have to take place.
I was mitten with the camper as soon as I saw it so easy to set up, thats what sold me :).
It will be good to here from you once you receve it, if your like me I've already looked at the sight 100 times just to get my fix :)

Regards

Congrats mate!

I know the feeling. I get my new FF Ecomate on the 9th June then off on maiden voyage on the 18th. I keep looking at the website as well. Also my new camper will be on display at the Brisbane show. Red ropes, Security, No shoes, No fairy floss fingers allowed. I will be there lol

Congrats Gecko,
The FF looks like a nice trailer,  I saw it aswell the day I bought the RF.
Its a lot larger then the rear fold but thats due to the box on the front having to be the main suport for the bed, it looks good you'll have to post some info and how you went on you trip.
I will be giving mine a run around the same time due to the misses work commitments, anyway mate good luck and have fun.
