Another new member from Perth
« on: September 22, 2010, 06:50:04 PM »
Hi all,

After a few weeks of lurking around, I decided to sign up.
We don't have a CT yet, but that won't be long.
After hiring a Johnno's Easter a year ago we are looking for a CT.
We used to camp in a Black Wolf tent which is great, but not everything.

Our eyes are set on the KK Sports RV Limited.
The tow vehicle is the trusty Toyota Hilux Surf SSR-G 3.0 liter turbo diesel with D-Gas system.
Added to this vehicle are: 113 liter replacement tank, snorkel, 2.5" exhaust with straight through muffler, fwh, 31" Coopers STs.

Before you all begin asking, pictures will follow.
Some of you will recognize me as I am member of other forums as well (PCoA, Toyotasurf, P4x4).

I hope I will learn a lot from you.
See you out there.

Good to see another Perth Myswagger Wilsurf!  I've just put some $$$ down for a KK - due to collect late November!  They're a great unit and the WA agent ("Care-a-Van") couldn't have been more helpful. Hope you have many happy years and times with it!

Thanks, which one  did you order?
I was at Care-a-Van last Friday to check if the +30 offset rims fit on my car.
There was a customer with Jamie while we were there, it might be you.

Thanks all.
Just amazing how busy the forum is.
We will probably order the CT today before 2pm WA-time as there is an increase starting tomorrow. That will cost us $1500

NEWS FLASH

CT has been ordered this morning.
The factory has to confirm dates, but the dealer received an email this morning from the factory that there are a few spots available for late November/early December.
Otherwise it will be January next year.

The Kimberley SportsRV Limited is on its way (not real, but you know what I mean)
Now the wait can start.  :D

G'day mate, great to see more and more sandgropers on here! We're a few hours north of Perth. Sympathise with your waiting, we bought our aussie swag 2nd hand this time last year and couldn't get there to pick it up until after harvest and christmas. Hope it all goes smoothly for you. We must just about have enough sandgropers for a gathering?!

Got the confirmation yesterday: Ex-works 13th December.
Might be getting it just before X-mas.
Only the rims are still an issue.
Last Friday we tried the +30 offset on my Surf. They fit, however on full lock it hits the steering components.
So I ordered the CT with the zero offset rims on the +40 electric swingarms.
Now the factory won't ship it with the zero offset as the tyres will protrude out the mudguards.

Does someone know if there are steel rims with +15 offset in either 15" or 16" 6 stud?

Heya Wilsurf - I ordered the Platinum - figured that the more creature comforts I get the Mrs, the more often we'll be getting out amongst it!  ;D

That could have been me - did the guy you see have a tremble in his hand and sweat on his brow as he was signing up?  ;D. Mine will be getting in mid-Nov, but I won't be able to pick up until 26th Nov... The wait is killing me!

Received an email from the dealer.
The SportsRV Limited should be Ex-works factory around 15th November, in Perth at the end of November.

Now I have to sort out a brake controller and have the towbar installed.
