I brought this camper off eBay on New Year's Eve with a few beers under my belt for $935! I'm bloody happy with that!

It's all there trailer is good , bearings just done, good tyres, big space case on the front ect the tent had a couple of zips that wernt working and a few holes here and there...

A couple of hours stuffing around and the zips are fixed so we can use it ( will get fixed later on but saving coin for a family trip in June)

Any way here are some photos so far!

I have sanded the trailer back, cut off the gas bottle holder,ripped out some dodgy gas hose to the back that was run, takin the kitchen out to clean, lights are off and I think that's it for now!

I have givin the trailer 2 coats in gunmetal hammer tone paint and its looking the goods!

Ordered all new led lights for it...

Ordered some tape stuff that the canvas bloke told me to use on the small holes its coming from the states....

I will put the tent back on this arvo!

What's the easiest way to clean the tent up?

Nice buying. Don't know what's best for cleaning canvas but it may be easier while the tent is off the trailer.

buy proper canvas/tent cleaning/water proofing stuff & give it some love... you'd be surprised how well it will come up, lift & big wheels I assume? 8)

looks a lil rapey in the first pics. pompoms

Trailer is painted and tents back on...

I was going to lift it and bigger tyres but then the tent won't hit the ground?

Where can I get this cleaner from? Camping shop?

From pix I see, a lift would be better, looks to be enough slack in tent to allow some lift/tyres.
Nice find, another Zooker gets old :)

Ill have to wait till its all set up properly and see if there is any slack there!

It's not really for the Zook it's more when we head away camping now with the 3 boys the family wagon isn't big enough! And I'm not leaving the esky at home...........

Later in the year or next year will get another car more suitable for towing( will borrow my brothers jeep till then when we head away)

I spent a couple of hours in the shed making storage boxs to make the kitchen more useable!

Works perfect can fit everything we need to in them and even more!

Be very careful with this one.

I'd even go to the extent of getting those tubs made out of sheet to save another couple of kilo's and gain more space.

Looking good man. Going on adventures with kids knowing that they will be memories forever is awesome.
