Getting Ready

First things first we had to help Peter build the camper trailer and make sure he done it right…

Trailer before we put a Camec 60l water tank under it and a Oztrail 9 camper top on it.
And changed hubs to landcruiser 6 stud with electric brakes controlled by a Tekonsha Voyager Electric Brakes Controller.
 



We had to take out ALL the camping gear and unbolt the top, then clean it all.
