Preparing for the CSR
Hi, my name is Charlie.
Currently I am setting up an ex-Telstra Cab Chassis (2012 GU) for a CSR trip next year. Have done the Simpson a few times but this will be the first on the Canning.
I figure this forum will be the place to learn from experience.
Cheers

G'day Len,
I'm in Victoria. Not sure who makes the canopies for Telstra, pretty tidy unit though and heaps of them around the country. Cheers

G'day Cuppa,
Even a section of the Canning is a good thing to do.
Your outfit looks quite impressive. We have a very similar setup, including Tvan.
We won't be towing on the Canning. Back to tenting for a week or so. (That'll test the body.) Considering storing the van somewhere while we do the CSR then continue on around the west coast. Still planning.
Cheers
