Broadwater Supreme Forward Fold Delivered

[HuskyInAuz]

Drove up to Gold Coast Wednesday, picked up the Broadwater Thursday afternoon.
Drove back down to Taree area Friday and made a stop over. Pulls down the road up to 120km/hr (at times) with no swaying other than a few hills and congested traffic you wouldn't know it was back there until you get to bowser. Normally I get 12.4l/100 around home, 13.8 with the old King Trek CSU, but with the CT 16.7L/100.

Pulled into a CP and had a number of groups looking at the shinny girl as I backed into a un-powered site. We set it up, and this was the wife's first real complete attempt, in about 2-3 minutes. Had she done the interior support poles before it would have been very quick.

Within a very few minutes of setting up, 2 guys came by and wanted a walk through, then three ladies came over to get a better overview a bit later. A few more came by later.

I'll have a number of 'projects' that will be done to customize the CT and will post with progress pictures. Won't do much before getting the blue slip on Tuesday and the taking off for the Australia Day meet up.

But..

Yep all Good now.

Looks good, I like the no tent on the floor part

[megatexture]

They look good for the advertised price,midi you get many options?

[HuskyInAuz]

I had no options installed, Mark has about half a page of options you can have. I went into this knowing I was going to modify/upgrade a lot (have to have projects). I'm out there now tearing out the refrigerator slide and making a squawk/punch list. Removed the bloody 9kg gas bottle rack and stone guard already.
Had a better look underneath, welds in front of the axle look good.

Mark was good to deal with, but I didn't ask a lot of questions since I'm the one who will be fixing it. I'll be forwarding my 'constructive' remarks as time goes along, like to see him do well and improve the product... otherwise maybe a business opportunity calls

We both wanted something up off the ground, there are only the two of us so I see other upgrades in the settee area later.

any more pics It looks like a great camper, a place that should not be welded is where the draw bar comes out from under the tub
Meaning tub is not welded there, common place where they break and welding makes it easier to break[crack]

Any inside picks? I'm guessing you strap the bed in and it hangs from the roof once folded up?

TD, the tongue is one piece all the way to the front frame of the swing arm mounts.
