Hey mate. Shame your thread got shagged by Photo Bucket, much good stuff in it. I was trying to find the info on your roof rack fabrication. If you've got anything on that I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Looking good Daz, keep it going. And with the amount of rainfall we've had in Brisbane recently I doubt anything would burn currently!! :)

Dazza, welcome to ExPo mate. You've got a fantastic piece of Aussie history there so straight up I'm going to say, work with it. Look at the examples by others when working with these things as there are some very well thought out mods as options to achieve a comfortable camper. So the RTT route...

Impressive work you've done. Look forward to seeing it all in action.

Adam, nice number plate. :D How did you get that registered over there?

Rob, there's no way that just wetting it down and letting it dry in the shape you want will get that piece to stay that way without some external forces holding it there. If it can bend while dry to the shape you want then there's really no need to wet it down. You will have to add some gussets...

Prob a little late to assist unless you've got the bits you cut off your formwork pieces, but the formwork I've seen from the composite panel guys and ply guys is usually on the outside of the bend, not the inside. That way you don't need clamps to keep it in place and you have the inside free...

Hi Rob. As mentioned before you are doing a great job and well documented. Just thought I'd let you know that I used those sticky cable tie things once and had them peel off in no time. There's a fair bit of vibration that goes into those mounts from bouncing around and they just didn't last. I...

That is a great photo. :)

There is a LOT to be said for just buying and enjoying.

Hey? Wha?? Last I saw you had plans for building. Unless you changed the design and this is the result. 😉 But seriously, nice unit.

Something we don't need to contend with here is climbing in altitude much, so hadn't considered that as a possible factor. ;) You'd think though that if the cans were well packed they would have a better chance of surviving.

Well exploding beer is never good. :) I gather it wasn't frozen so yes, bouncing around the culprit. Of course your suspension will make a difference to how well things ride so worth checking that out. Just make sure you pack everything so it is not likely to move. If boxes etc are not full (say...

The DO35 and all VC products I'm pretty sure are all made in Brisbane Australia (says so on their website). These are probably the most popular hitches in Australia for serious off-road capable hitches. Treg make a polyblock hitch in Adelaide but I'm pretty sure that design has been copied by...

Really looking forward to seeing this come together, I know it's going to be awesome. :D

Looking very good.

Nice to know the history of your trailer Steve. Good find.

With the shackle on the front the wheel will want to move forward when you hit a bump and the spring compresses, so into the obstacle. The shackle at the rear allows the wheel to move up and back a little so it absorbs the impact better. Your eggs just may not arrive all in one piece. ;)

Hey Dan, I hope you didn't use that 3M tape to secure any of those items on the outside. :D But seriously, she looks good. Be sure to post some "in use" shots.

Very nice looking unit sir. Love the color too. If the roof is 93" long then they must be pretty large tires, what size are they? It just doesn't look like the entire thing is that big so assuming the large (?) tires just make it look smaller. I suppose the floor has to be about 7' just to fit...
