Mike - thats me
Rose - thats the better half
N kids thats three Rachel 12 Nathan 10 and Luke 8
Started out with a tent in a box trailer then moved up to an old 70's type pop top style camper trailer followed by a Trak Shak until July 2011 when the 1756-2 became our home away from home 6 weeks a year (wish it was more).
Mods - Yes done a few
Solar panels 4 x 64 watt Unisolar on sliding rails on roof easily removed if parked in shade currently installing tilt mechanism for all panels to maximise collection
Redarc BMS 1220 with two 100 amp batteries (Jayco supplied)
Reich twin 12 volt caravan mover
roller draw for front hatches that can be opened from either end, also slide it out as a bench top for kitchen area
Kitchen box on 'A' frame that covers both gas bottles and Generator in centre, this also has a hand water pump on one side and a gas ring at bench height that I screw the bottle from under bench top and the gas bottle hangs off.
This Kitchen box has drop down legs so when I remove it from draw bar its at a good bench height to set up U-bute twin gas bbq and next to that our Camp oven.
On top of this box I have installed a bike rack that carries 5 bikes ( only problem is it has to be dismantled before the bed can open up but we only take all the bikes for the longer stays and not overnighters
Well thats Us in a nutshell
Cheers Michael
