Placed a deposit on this today. Just the tent, not the trailer. We've decided that we are over tent camping and want something that can withstand rain and wind, so decided to do a $500 redraw and and start working on something, which will make life a lot easier.
Meet the OZ Trail 8. Pick it up on Friday. It needs two minor repairs, a short run of stitching and a new zip closer on the cover.
Plan is to drop it off Friday week to have the repairs done. Then I will give it a really good clean. Plan is to use my current 6x4 work trailer as the carrier and have it so I can remove the tent part as needed, by rigging up a chain sling for the gantry.
Tonight most of the equipment frame and the side trailer box was removed from the trailer and placed into storage on top of some tall shelves in the shed. I figure it will be unlikely I go back to working for myself as I couldn't make enough money other than enough to pay for more tools, equipment and equipment maintenance. So now the trailer will become multi use and able to cart gear for the garden and in summer an easy way to pack and get away for a week.
Longer term is to put back what I've borrowed and in the meantime see what I can find in the way of plans to make user friendly storage underneath in the trailer tub.
