Thanks mate, will certainly check that out. I am mainly chasing any ideas that will make living with the Ultimate easier and also any suggestions for updating or improving the camper (not that is much to improve on). The unit I have purchased is very tidy but like anything, there are always things that can be added. Like I said before, I am new to campers and it is all a big learning curve.

Mate, welcome aboard. You certainly picked one from the top shelf first time out. From my experience the Ulties are a top unit. I’m just waiting for them to bring out the tray top model…mind you I might have an issue getting that one past the Minister for War and finance.

I travel with Jaydub and Suze who have taken their Ultimate to some places that would make you cringe. It’s handled it every time. They have put a top brand of MT tyre on though to assist in coping with the tough conditions. Theirs is extreme travel though and somewhat more involved that your average adventuring.

Have a look at a few of these from our journey into the Great Sandy;

The only real piece of advice I would give you is to get a spare pin and a few spare lynch pins and "D" shackles...... spare wheel nuts don't go astray either.

We are on our second Ultimate and even that the build quality is not as good as or first one we still love it.

Another thing is fit a water filter if it hasn't already got one.

We bought one a few years ago and the only thing we did was to get a custom made inner spring mattress (two that zip together). Its as good as the bed at home now.
As mentioned there are loads of tips etc on the ulti forum, replacing lighting for LED, how to pack up wet, installing diesel heaters etc etc.

Hi there,

Call Ultimate and let them know your camper number so that they can record you as the current owner. They will then give you access to the Ultimate forum and you'll then have enough ideas to keep you use for a few weeks.

Congrats on a smart move.

Cheers
