my Conqueror conquest arrived :)

[Tucson T4R]

so I know nothing around here or where to go ???

In the Arizona Summer, head for any of the "sky Island" mountain ranges to get up in the cooler altitudes. Mt Graham is SW of Safford and gets up to around 10K. Nice and cool. Also anything in the high country along the rim.

Contact me when your ready and I'd be happy to give you a few suggestions. It's always a nice relief to get up in the mountains and escape the valley heat. :1888fbbd:

That is a sweet trailer I like the bunk up that high. The pic of you and your daughter up there is priceless. I know my kids would have done the same thing lol.

[Honu]

Nice trailer! Curious, what's the weight on that thing?

specs are 450 kilograms so just under 1000 lbs dry

I think the shorter one the compact weighs in at 45 kilograms lighter than this one ? I seem to remember that number from reading a South Africa forum from a guy who was looking at both models


Spressomon
thats my other passion pulling good shots
I have a Elektra A3 that replaced my aged Pasquini
now to find a good way to get my morning shot on the trail ?
I was looking at that small pump up thing forgot whats its called but looks like a porta filter you pump and poor some hot water in ?
but chances are the mokapot will be in use

I would point out as well that my Conquest is the most perfectly balanced trailer I have pulled.
No load on the D-90 and I would even forget that it was behind me.

Moving by hand was a breeze.

I think Honu is correct on the weight, but the main site for these guys in South Africa has the specs on each (the US spec trailer may be slightly different (color, features, etc.)

[Honu]

had a fun FJ meet today so took a few pics with the awning out in full getting some stuff ready for our trip and I have yet to launch the canopy so had to get used to it

getting ready for a 17 day trip coming up with it nothing tough really as I have to be careful as wife is Prego so cant do to much rough stuff with her

 

[ZR2nit]

Honu,
That is one great set-up. I should have jumped on a Conquest when I could have. Oh well the funds are a little tight anyways. Congrats thats one hell of a trailer

 

[Tucson T4R]

You have that wrap around porch thing happening. :wings: Very nice set up. Looking forward to seeingthe pics of your campsites after your upcoming trip.

 

[Honu]

ZR yeah but something will come up that fits ya I am sure


Brad now my next thing is walls my poor little guy will never be the camp canvas you have but I need to get walls

 

[Dendy Jarrett]

Great Shots Honu!

I think I saw you at Elliot and Power yesterday or the day before. I can't remember for sure, but it was deffinately a Conqueror and a Yellow FJC. That is one slick setup! I'd really like to check it out once you're back from your trip and have some time. I live out there near where I saw you.
