Nice looking rig.
We had Coorong GT, and it towed awesomely. The only problem I ever had was how easy it was to overload the front boxes. The new units are so much better than my old girl. Well done and have good fun camping.

Just a suggestion if I may. Flip the wheel of your jockey wheel up the other way and secure it with something appropriate. It will help avoid any damage to the wheel when going through washouts etc.. Nice rig by the way.

Are those chains crossed? I can't see clearly.
Good tip about the jockey wheel. I must try that.
Nice rig. Looks similar to our new camper. Enjoy.

Looks fantastic! Love the colours too :)
Off topic sorry but how did you mount the driving lights?

Colors were a total arse - grey was my only choice [emoji23]

Re driving lights I bought the stainless brackets from Osborne Park Autospark and powder coated them black - but they’re exxy!!

How'd the trip go?

Ms Redtail spotted you heading north over the Narrows this arvo - pointing out the cool number plate.
I pointed out the rock sliders, explaining that's what I was about to put on, having removed the factory jobs. So she can reach the roof rack and unload while I have a beer.
No trailer in sight though. Hopefully it's not stuck in the sand somewhere? [bighmmm]

"So she can reach the roof rack and unload while I have a beer." That's the way, keep the Cook working while you contemplate and plan the trip ahead. :)
