reads90 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 We now have a camping trailer and on the start of our way around Aus Here is a pic of the trailer and car. At my sister in Laws house in Sydney It has a 85 ltr water tank and can carry another 4 jerry cans along with 2 gas bottles It also have an off road towing hitch Has an interior tap in the kitchen and one on the outside next to the tank filler We have a dual battery system with a momantor This is where is has been running for the fridge of it for two days with out starting the car. Tehn when you start the 90 it gives you a reading as to which of the batteries are charging and if the both are. There is also an alarm on it that will tell you when the battery is getting low and you need to start and charge the battery or batterys. The bit next to it is a gauge for the rear fridge. Tells you the temperture out side. Which as you can see is a cold morning in Sydney. Belive i am not taking the tiddle, in Brisbane it was 34 by this time of the day. It also shows you the temp in the fidge so you can check that your steaks are still fronzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJL Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Nice Setup! That Hitch looks a bit strange! Never seen that sort before IMHO a nato type coupling might have been better but obviously they dont have them over there! Enjoy the trip. How far do you plan on going?

MogLite Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 That would have looked soooo much better if the trailer was the same shade of blue Getting Armani coat, putting on Gucci loafers, gathering up all my Laura Ashley catalogues and meandering towards the door !!! Seriously - way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Jordan Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 That is a nice trailer, Does it come with the tent? Im assuming that you can't get them in the UK! It's like a caravan that you can take off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas90 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Good idea with the jockey wheel rotating 90 degs out of harms way. Wonder if SimonR has seen that yet? Could be another X-Eng product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 You can get those trailers in the UK, they are at the shows usually. I don't know if they're cheaper in Oz (most things seem to be ) but they cost almost as much as a caravan. Bloomin' well engineered though, something tells me a caravan wouldn't last off-road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomin' well engineered though, something tells me a caravan wouldn't last off-road Cost about £3000. But over the top for us 2 But hey any fool can be uncomfortable, and we can keep it for a while. And when Jules comes over he can take it on a trip . But will also do for sleeping up to 6 people. as the awning has sides as well. to make another space. You can also get an ensuite that frs on the side and another bedroom that fits on the other side too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Cost about £3000. Actually, they can cost about as much as you want to pay. Spending £10000 is easy for the big names, especially the hard floor types. Just have a look at these: http://www.kimberleykampers.com.au PS. Coming to Adelaide Ali?
