Tinny & Camper How does that work?
Maybe I spelt it wrong the first time? There are plenty of rigs around with a tinny and camper. I have seen the barsards, should have paid more attention. Now I have upgraded the swag to a camper how do I carry the bloody tinny?

G'day Daryl,
Mate, you can go a number of ways here, either on the trailer or the car. On my last trip had it on the trailer (via boat racks) had to shift the bl##dy thing every night to erect the tent. This isn't a problem if you intend using the tinniee anyway but this was the case probably less than half the time so all the other times you are just shifting it (was a pain after a few nights). Needless to say that after 2 months of doing this the tinnie has migrated to the roof of the car where it can stay unless I need it.
Did a bit of research and bought a winch driven auto loader so it is not even a problem loading/unloading the tinnie, also store my outboard inside a frame inside the tinnie when travelling (so solved the question of where to put the outboard). Works a treat but the solution is not cheap.
Kind regards

Hi Daryl,
Sending off to day - also a CD with photos of various models.
Yes - 2 minutes to take off and 2 minutes to put on and all you have to do is keep your finger on the cordless drill trigger!
We recently made one for a Landcruiser to fit a 3.9m Stacer - huge boat for a roof - goes on and off just the same - customer was stoked!! This trip away he took the caravan and next trip is taking the big runabout with the dinghy on top.
He also has a roof rack to use when the boat not on top - so you are getting a roof rack and a loader!
They are available thru out all Opposite Lock stores in Australia - just ask at your nearest branch if you want one.
Can you let me know when you receive it and what you think?
Regards,
Bill

Revieved the infomation and dvd Thankyou Bill.
Looks like a good thing but at $2,500+ it is out of my price range at this time.
Thanks anyway,
