Its almost here!!!
« on: October 08, 2015, 07:24:09 PM »
I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning...
My name is Tim, and my family and I have ordered a Lifestyle CT that's due late October.

The space in the garage is ready, the car is ready, all the old camping gear that we're reusing is neatly packed in tubs, and we're all keen as to get out and get amongst it.

I've been lurking here for some time, and have picked up many good tips and ideas, and we can't wait...

Thanks for all the info, it's been invaluable.

That's all for now,

Timmmmm

We bought the extenda elite. We looked around for second hand, but seemed to miss out on any of the suitable ones.
Then we saw the new one on display, and we both were hooked!!

Gday Damo,

I ended up with a 70L Evakool. We took the camper out last weekend for its maiden voyage. Did the setup in 40deg + on Friday arvo, then withstood the Southerly early on Saturday morning. This thing is like the Taj Mahal - so bloody roomy

Everything went well, except I busted the tap off at the sink when the tailgate closed unexpectantly... I'll organise a new tap, then we;ll be ready to get back out there. Thanks for the photos etc of your fridge.

In all the excitement, I hardly took any photos. I'll have to get some next time.

Timmmmm
