Australian CamperTrailers
national meet at Condobolin 2010

tuesday

campoven morning tea

    The Tuesday morning tea was a special event as it gave everyone time to meet up for a chat. Members brought a cuppa along with a variety of treats they had cooked in camp using what ever means including the camp oven, Cobb or Dreampot etc. The table of food looked fantastic. It was also Carol's birthday & she was presented with a bouquet of freshly picked wild radish & paterson's curse. Everyone sung happy birthday to her. 

understanding dual battery systems  

    Shane's workshop this time was on the topic of dual battery systems, not only in vehicles, but also for camper trailers & charged while on the move by the vehicles alternator. He first out lined the types of isolators available & how they operate to charge two batteries under the bonnet or a battery in the camper. Because of the length of cable needed from the alternator to the camper trailer battery, voltage drop used to be a problem, however by placing a DC to DC charger next to the camper battery, it boosts the voltage ensuring the battery is charged to 100% capacity.

scrapbooking

    Carol is an avid scrapbooker and held a workshop to show how to make your trip or family photo album presentation more enjoyable. Photos are laid out in an album with decoration and perhaps a little story.

cobb workshop

    Jill Skinner showed how the popular Cobb Cooker can be used in camp as an alternative for cooking a range of food traditionally cooked in the camp oven. With the use of heat beads as a heat source the Cobb can be used as an oven, a barbecue, a smoker or a stove.

    Jill was cooking a the evening dinner & went through the steps of what was needed, lighting the heat beads, placing the roast in the Cobb & placing the lid on top.

tame the toilet tent

    One of the funniest events at a CamperTrailers Group national meet has to be the 'Tame the Toilet Tent Competition' at happy hour, as you can see by the laughter on the audience in the photos. Members are timed folding the change tent back to pack away shape & the fastest to do so is the winner. This years winner was John Heath who just so happened to be a past winner.
