We could start an ex Telstra camper club. :-) Will look forward to hearing about your trip.
I've been beavering away installing all the wiring for the charging side of things on my truck. (solar & dc to dc), quite a big job, much of the work better suited to a contortionist or a dwarf, neither being descriptions that apply to me!

Hell yes! I'm in.
Of course club trips may be a problem with 1 in WA, 1 in Vic and 1 in NSW.......

Nice set up you've got there Errol.
Good to see you're getting out and enjoying using it.
I've got a canopy the same as you, except I use an Oz-Tent.
I'll join the club too, even though none of the others mentioned me!LOL.
Here's the link to my build thread.

Yeeha another member. That's the east and west covered, now all we need is the centre and the annual meeting can be at the rock!
Cheers,

Yeah X2 with everyone else, got a soft spot for utes. IMO the best for touring, 4x4ing the lot. MOF said no to ute, but have plans to cut the back off my patrol and turn it into a dualcab. Hope she doesn't notice
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Just got back to this thread. Yeah the Rock sounds good, but the 'Westerners' get the better route. Should we make Rossco the Prez?

Cupper a run up through the Flinders then on to the Oodnadatta is one.
Or my choice; Corner country, Innaminka, Birdsville, Simpson Desert not forgetting Dalhousie, Mount Dare is another.
Make them Westies green with a trip like that!!
I thought Rosco was the Prez, he has been leading the way....

Corner country sounds good. Haven't been to Innamincka. Not sure about the Simpson though. Think I need a bit of sand practice before giving that route a go!
Should we call the Podders community something so we can have an acronym?
Eg.
The PP's (PatrolPodders)
COPs (Canopies on Patrols)
CCOPs Camping Canopies on Patrols
CCCOP Cunning Camping Canopies On Patrols
POCCs Pod owners Campers Club
POOP (Pod Owners On Patrols)
