[Steinzy]

Just bought a new toy...

First on the list a respray of the outside (white with a Maroon stripe to match the rangie) then new canvas and the inside can have a bit of an update...other than that its all good and tows nicely!

With any luck it will be up and running for the Bribie trip!

The first photo I wasn't sure if it was the dog or the camper :D.

Mate cool camper will serve you well, cant beat arriving at a destination and your set up in comfort in 30min.

30mins Loaded??? :(

10mins top :D

Nice looking trailer Steinzy... will talk to you when time for canvas to see if can get a group discount ;)

[Steinzy]

Yeah you are right Josh...put it up in under 10 minutes all set up...minor cosmetic work needed inside and new canvas with a couple of extra windows and features and good as new...not bad for all of $1700...gotta love ebay!:cool:

Looks good Steinzy.

Keep me in the loop on the canvas also ;)

Eve has a relo in the canvas business in Coffs Harbour so we will be speaking to him also. I will let you both know if we can get a good deal down there :D just to rub it in :angel:

If you ever take it down to the colder sates, fit some insulation under the pullout matresses. Very easy to get a chill in the back. Been there done that.:D

We had a Viscount Explorer 1, many years ago. It was an 8 berth, 12' that pulled out to around 22'.

Cheers,

I can get my tent up and have a beer in that time.

Nice camper though and for that price, sod the camper trailer at $10-15K upwards new :eek::eek:

Setting up a camp with beer in one hand takes a little longer. ;)

[dungarover]

It does, but who cares when you're camping as long as the bastard is set up regardless of how it looks.

Not when the beer is in the fridge inside the camper!:eek:

not a bad idea Ron...i have some high density foam in the shed that may just do the trick!

[RonMcGr]

This is the Viscount.
The two Girls are now 29 and 28. :D
Was a long time ago.

Wow...good times hey!

Now don't tell me you towed it with the VW :confused:

[Utemad]

Wow...good times hey!

Now don't tell me you towed it with the VW :confused:

It's a Fiat Bambino isn't it?

You used to tow with that and you complain about your Disco as a tow vehicle? :D

[RonMcGr]

Yes guys, it is the Bambino in my car list :D

No it was lucky to pull it's own weight, but the pic looks good.

These are the two vehicles that towed it.
The Mercedes struggled a little as it was only a 2.5 litre six.
The Fairlane being a 5.8 litre had no such problem.
After I bought the Fairlane, I traded the camper on a full size 7 berth 18' x 8' caravan.

Cheers,
