Getting very EXCITED !!!!!
« on: November 27, 2014, 03:48:16 PM »

Received a call from my new CT supplier this morning......I will be able to pick up my new Ecomate / Modcom forward fold CT Next Friday....I will travel to Rockhampton this Saturday to do a pre delivery inspection to make sure all the bells and whistles i'v asked for are completed.My wife and i are nearly as excited as we were when our first grand child was born !.   
                                                     Just thought i'd share our excitement as this will be our first CT and probably our last....... Cheers Tracker.


                                     MB pics later. :cheers:

Us too - we've been told our Aussie Swag is being trucked to Sydney for pickup Tuesday - it's been a long 3 and a half month wait!

Mate
Make sure you check the electric brakes are setup & working correctly. When i picked mine up from Mark i thought they seemed a little soft.
I have a Tekonsha P3 fitted to my BT50 & when reading up on the info you should be able to lockup (or at the very least feel the pull from the trailer) when using the manual override. I couldnt & he said they needed to "bed in" so i accepted that. However after a couple of trips away i thought they still weren't working as the should, which was confirmed by Better Brakes, who said the CT brakes hadn't been adjusted (or setup) right.
On a side note what are they saying is the Ball weight for the forward fold (I have the rear fold, but would've got the fwd fold if available). Mine is supposed to be 75kg but i bought a towball scale from repco & its nowhere near that (i mean much more).
Just something to consider.
I'm happy with camper & Mark is easy to deal with, so congrats on the buy & i'm sure the Mazda wont have any probs because i know mine doesnt.
I think that there maybe enough Mackay members for an Easter meet next year (to late for xmas)
