    Thats probably whey I never get my projects started, I over think them

    If I think of anything I'll let you know.

    Don't you just hate it when your finished a job, stand back and then think, "dam that was the hard way to do it" or "I should have done that; bugger it, too hard to change now"

    Mick, nice link! If I had of found that in Oz, I may have just purchased it! Looks like a pretty good layout and good features. Unfortunately it looks like a cool room with a tent on top maybe they will bring out coloured versions!

    I will take some photos this afternoon after I finish working on the trailer for the weekend. I'll post them up.

    Yes your'e right about the coolroom look, I don't mind it though, it may stop prying eyes and hands .

    I found it on ExPo, the builder/designer replied and said that one was just the prototype and was asking for peoples advice on changes required.

    Look forward to your updates, have a good day.

    Week 3 - progress update.

    Front - got most of the floor in. lots of pop rivets in there....



    Fridge draw - has the door attached to the draw so it all opens at once.


    Electrical board painted up ready for install. What do you think of the colour? It's Ocean Blue hammertone. I was thinking of painting the whole thing that colour.


    Found these in Masters today, (it's their "Grand Opening" today in Mackay). Thought that they would go really nicely for the 'kitchen' area on the camper.

    Looking good mate, I don't mind that blue. What colour is your truck?

    Good score with the lights. They aren't bad those Masters store, I had a look for the first time on wednesday while I was in Canberra having some work done to "Ivy".

    My D90 is keswick green w/ white roof.... I was going to colour match the trailer, but the MRS wasn't too enthusiastic about it

    I thought I had seen a post somewhere else that it was Keswick, nice. That's what I was going to say, colour match it. You could even lash out and give the trailer a fresh coat of white, then it would look like an ordinary box trailer when in that configuration

    You would only need to paint the "box" keswick as your RTT, I'm assuming here, being white would look like the white roof to match the 90.

    Yes that was my thoughts as well! The box trailer will go to a white/off white I would think. But I was thinking the same wiht the camper - make it colour matched and then wiht the tent on top it'd look nice..... will have to think about it some more.

    Just something to consider if you go with white is the fact that chips and scratches in your paint can "bleed" and leave rust trails down your paint work.
