Thanks for all the info mate. We've just bought a Stoney Creek Nugget which seems to be identical to the Austrak. We're taking it out for the first time tomorrow, and I can see your mod ideas are going to make life a little easier for us. Cheers
Cheere mate. Appreciate it. Oh mate get on it hey. Prob up there as the best mod so far and the least expensive. It's called EVA foam sheet. So bloody good.
I’m about to give my conqueror a big make over. It’s got a bit of rust coming out on it so going to sand it back, treat the rust & respray in raptor before the rust gets worse. Also replacing the tent with a 23 zero RTT. Should not have sold the one I had on my Hilux when I got the camper. What size is your tent?
I love those conqueror trailers. We considered one but they don't come up for sale often. We we've got the 2200 Dakota. I believe it's the biggest one in the range.
@@TimRumble mines just the little UEV310 but perfect for me and the kids. I was lucky, it popped up on marketplace & I picked it up from Eungella. It’s a solid little trailer apart from the rust coming out, don’t like the tent at all it’s too big & bulky for me to manage on my own - doable but way too much effort for my liking. Ok, I was debating whether to go the 1600, 1800 or 2200 RTT for the camper.
Yeah what did ya have on the hilux? The 2200 is massive. It is bigger than a king bed. That mattress I find is good for me. But I like a firm mattress. Sometimes Michelle reckons it's not quite thick enough so we sometimes sleep with a doona underneath us aswell. Leaving all our bedding and pillows in there too is a tad difficult when it comes to the straps. But we've had ol mate at true blue canvas make us some longer ones so we don't have any dramas now. If you wanted to check it for size at all we could probably show it to you one weekend. But it might be a tad tough to handle by yourself.
Great tips on both the deck foam and the toiletry hanger. Question: did your trailer come with a clamp on light with a 5.5mm plug on the end and if so did you find the outlet for it. Got me bu66ered! Cant find an outlet and cant work out whether its 12 V or 5V
Thanks mate. That foam decking mod has been working a treat. Have had many people thanking me for that one. Haha. In regards to the light... it didn't come with one. However. We were gifted one exactly what you describe. We've used it once over the kitchen. But no... no outlet for it. We have other lights that use the same connection to a cig plug. So we just use that.
Lol I have to laugh I’m having trouble finding places too put my shit luckily my Brassmonkey is in the back of the ranger otherwise I would be stuffed ,lol so I retired for the day have a coffee and a laugh
G'day mate... we've recently had it weighed... build plate says 800kg unloaded. We've added weight to it though. But fully loaded we came in at 1400kg.

Cheers Doug. Thanks mate. Yeah juat putting the final details together for our trip this year.
Some great mods Tim.... thanks for the tip on the boat decking tape on the ladder! Have since done mine and works amazing!!

Cheers for the vid mate. I’ll have to get on the Eva foam for the ladders. Misses will love that. Appreciate it 👍
It's so good mate. I've had a bit of lovin since sorting that out.

Thanks mate. Glad you liked it.
The foam is called EVA foam. Used for boat decking.

Do you have details of the step tread material - would love to do this to ours, cheers
G'day Steve. I just used that EVA boatbdecking material. It has a self adhesive backing. Comes in a variety of colours.
Awesome thanks for the info
@@stevebirch1880 no worries mate.

@@TimRumble Worth asking, thanks anyway
Whats the roof top tent is it a 4 person? Thanks
It's a 23zero Dakota 2200. Biggest we could find.

Doesnt look like Kmart sell the toiletries roll any more :(
Oh no... that's no good. Even the canvas bloke said they were great quality
What's the name of the trailer and brand
It's an Austrack Simpson. It's a bit modified obviously but that's what we started with.
Can I ask the weight of the trailer?
G'day mate... we've recently had it weighed... build plate says 800kg unloaded. We've added weight to it though. But fully loaded we came in at 1400kg.
