Gday mate I’ve had my Patrol since new. No need to replace it, it’s a great 4wd. You don’t need expensive fancy 4wds to go camping. I appreciate your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Well done Tim,There is a time when you have to change. Get comfortable and to do it in an Australian made version is the best decision. Enjoy your trips mate.
for a 2005 model it was sure ahead of its time, if anything its more practical than anything else I've seen out currently. The 3 way fridges are pretty problematic I'd probably change it out to a bushman fridge for some piece of mind.
Yeah mate. Great design for that era. I still have my fridge and separate freezer in my Patrol. But, a Bushman upright down the track for the camper is on the cards. Cheers Tim
Congrats Tim - I love this. It looks fantastic plus so spacious and streamlined. I look forward to seeing your new adventuring in this beautiful camper trailer. Glad you'll still be doing at least some of your campfire cooking though as they are also inspirational. 👍👍 Did you have to re-season all that canvas like you did for your swag? Although you'd probably need a much bigger bath!! 🤣😆😁 Only joking, I'm so happy for you. ☺
Thanks mate. Yeah, cooking on the campfire will never stop if the weather conditions are ok. Hahah Lol, i haven't worked out how i will get the camper in the bath yet if it's needed. Lol No water at all came in while i was away. Cheers Tim
What the hell Batesy, you are so fancy mate!! The rear passenger locker is for ya chemical toilet, you can slide it in / out during the night, then empty it via the outside hatch at a dump point. I had a 2018 Explor GT :)
Haha lol Yeah, just a small upgrade from my swag. lol. The last owner had a cem toilet in that rear box. I have a brand new one at home. Still undecided if I’ll carry it at this stage. 2018 model would be very nice. Cheers Tim
Having weather protection and somewhere to shelter is good to have. The camper gives more options and comfort and is much better sleeping off the ground. Good on you Tim.
Well done Tim, great choice of camper, not biased, I have the same camper 😊, they are excellent. If you haven’t already, suggest you register on the members ultimate forum, there is a wealth of knowledge on there and what people have done to theirs. All the best with it.
Gday mate. I’ve been on the Ultimate Owners facebook page for a while now. It’s been very handy for the information I have asked. Great page. Cheers Tim.
Well done mate. At least we can bounce out of bed now. You and I both know that that a good night sleep is essential for for discovering new adventures in the bush, That really is a good setup...enjoy.
Congrats .. well done! Wife and I have a very old Kimberly Kamper which we use as a home base and still do one or two night swag ventures from there.... you are spot on with not filling a space just because you can ... we don't put much in ours, but with some bits in the ute and others in the trailer, you get both units nice and light for safe, enjoyable travel. You won't look back !!!
Thanks Trevor, Great hearing from you. Not sure if you remember when I raced in a relay team in the Murray River Marathon kayak race in a K1 Against you, Guy Leech, Grant Kenny, Guy Andrew’s and Clint Robinson You guys smashed us, but great fun against you guys. lol. Thanks mate Cheers Tim.
I love your point re not filling up the space you have just because you have the space. There are plenty of people who would do well to take heed of that for their own 4x4 and/or camper!!!
Awesome, Tim. We also just purchased a second-hand camper trailer, I never thought I would, but here we are. Lol. I only looked at the Tvans and Ultimate campers, both great campers, but it was the Tvan that won it for me. Like you, we still love swagging it and will always do those sorts of trips, but the camper makes a lot of sense on the longer trips, especially with a wife and a 5yo in tow. Lol
Gday mate The Tvan is also a top quality off road camper. It will be very handy for taking your family away. Thanks for your feedback. Have fun travelling. Cheers Tim
Good onya matey . They r great . We have the nexus . That storage unit mentioned u hadn’t decided on is where we have our porta pottie . You will love your adventures in it for sure . Enjoy 😎
Thanks heaps That’s a very nice model that you guys have. I’ve seen people using that back storage box for a porta pottie. I have a new one at home. I can’t wait to hit the road. With the camper in tow. Cheers Tim
Well done Tim Adrian told me you had got a camper trailer .I never thought I would make the switch from a swag to a caravan ,I still like to keep it simple and the options are endless .Happy trails and looking forward to your future adventures.
I was looking at these last week. Seems like that's where Patriot got their idea for the x3. Changing the wheels and tyres was a great idea Tim. Look forward to seeing it out with you on the tracks!
❤Love the camper, welcome to sleeping off the ground 👍, FYI For extended dirt road driving, consider directing air flow off the top of the camper ,down on to the rear step area, I used 3x 4 inch PVC 90 degree bends, evenly spaced along the back edge too direct air flow........it stops the build up of bull dust on the rear edge/step area, it reduced dust build up by 90%, All the best with your travels
It’s a big change for me not sleeping on the ground. lol I’ve seen a few ideas about redirecting air from the back step. I don’t think it will bother me to much. I’ll just get a small broom out if it’s needed. Cheers Tim
Look at you go Tim! Posh as . Nah just kidding well done it's a ripper of a set up love the Ultimates. Look forward to seeing it out on the tracks. Well done mate.
What an amazing camper! It's like a TARDIS in how it's fairly small yet there's a full kitchen and double bed in there. I don't have the resources for such a setup - just a 3 season tent and K-mart blow up double mattress but it's all about getting out in the bush, right? Look forward to your next adventures. Cheers!
Congratulations mate an awesome set up with all the mod cons one needs while enjoying the great out doors and now you have the best of both worlds. Cheers.
Congratulations Tim. Nice unit, for a 2005 model it looks as if it has been well cared for. Coincidentally I have just finished watching on TH-cam a mini series by ‘Shad Donohue’ who spent a week in the High Country towing his Ultimate. Seemed to go OK. You might want to check it out. Cheers
@timbates4wdadventures great videos also. Keeping it simple. Just sold my Titan rear drawer system and going with the tubs also. GU is loving being lighter. Eventually a fridge and small freezer as an individual set up.
Mate, I bet your more than happy with that. They are a top tier trailer weighing bugger all as you pointed out. Great choice. Happy travels Tim you lucky bugger. 😁🍺👍
Tim , good on you mate, congrats on the camper - great bit of kit and can tow anywhere - Taj Mahal of remote travel …. You will not know yourself ! They are fully built just south of Wollongong ! When the ultimate is rocking don’t come a knocking ! 😂😂😂😂
Great one Batsy, I love those Ultimate Campers. If you have a capable 4x4 (like yours) those things will go anywhere. I’d probably get a StoneStomper though for it. Good luck 👍
Do you invisage a paint job on the trailer to match the vehicle Tim? 4:30 it’s a huge swag on wheels Tim. You will feel right at home. Looks great. That’ll keep the mozzies away at night 👍🇦🇺 happy travelling Tim. I can see you having many trips in that trailer, decked out really well. Oorroo

timbo you not getting soft are you Lol,,no more out in the swag under the stars campfire crackling away mate,,,,lm 65 still swag for me fold out the stretcher bed swag on top of it nothing beats it,, anyway looks good
Very nice trailer mate. I've just been working on my camper with putting in a new (second hand) kitchen. I can't wait to get it out on the tracks. I even have matching rims and tyres.
Thanks mate. I’m so happy with it. Have you got an Ultimate that you’re putting the kitchen upgrade into? Matching rims and tyres is the go if you can. Cheers Tim
Wear and tear catching up to you Tim. 😉 That's a great camping upgrade. Checked these campers a couple of years back at their HQ at Moruya. These are awesome Aussie made trailers.
Congrats mate, I would be seriously interested in seeing you do the set up in real time. Think a few would also. Is it something you'd take to the VHC? Cheers
Thanks mate. I may look at a full setup vid down the track. It is so easy and quick to set up. I have a trip planned for the High Country over Easter and taking the camper. Cheers Tim
From the trips I’ve done on the road up long haul hills. I still keep my egts under 400 degrees. If it means dropping back to third gear and cruising up, that’s all fine. I’m in no rush to get to places. Water temp I’m not sure. Only have my standard water temp gauge. Cheers Tim
Cool Camper Tim!! - looks so good behind the Patrol! I have slept in my vehicle or tented most of my touring life, but I'm almost sold on getting a camper like this. It would be great to see you fully set it up. I'm just so used to things only taking a minute or two to pack up. How do you find it for an overnight stay?
Gday mate It sure is a great setup. It’s very easy to setup and pack up. I can get it done both ways in about 10 minutes. Not bad for what it is. I’ll do a setup video down the track mate. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim.

Well done Tim,There is a time when you have to change. Get comfortable and to do it in an Australian made version is the best decision. Enjoy your trips mate.
Thanks mate.
Some times changes need to be made for longer camping trips.
This is a great change for those trips.
Cheers Tim.
Congratulations, Tim, on your new camper. You won't know yourself now. No more climbing up ladders.
Hahah Lol Yeah one good thing with the camper, i wont have to climb on the roof of the Patrol again. Lol

Smart move Tim. You'll be pleased you made the leap into a comfortable set up for longer trips.
Thanks very much mate.
This setup will be great for longer trips.

Wow, that camper is huge when opened and yet so compact when closed, very clever design! Hope you enjoy it, good on you Tim

The design is well thought out.

Wow! 2005 model, looks brand new. Outstanding Tim, looking forward to following your up coming adventures, well done. 👌
Yeah mate, it’s on really good condition for a 2005 model.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
Beautiful set up, just shows you don't need to have the latest camper/caravans like most of the "other" youtuber jokers.
Well done Batsey
Absolutely mate.
I don’t need all the fancy new camping setups.
This setup is wicked for a 2005 model
Thanks mate.

I’ll be towing it across the high country over Easter.
Should be fun and comfortable lol.

Well done TB... before you know it, we'll have you in a caravan!
Thanks mate.
No chance on the caravan. Lol

You won't look back !!!
Thanks heaps mate.
Yeah, top idea balancing out the weight between the camper and the tow vehicle.
Keep it light and have safer travels.
Cheers Tim
Absolute cracker Tim, you’ll be so much more comfortable on longer trips now, plus all the extra fridge space to keep your home made pies😇🥫🍻
Hahah Lol
Plenty of fridge space for those pies. Lol
Cheers Tim
Congratulations mate, nice set up, now you can take the missus away as well
Bloody ripper Tim. Stoked for you, you deserve it mate.
Thanks Trevor,
Great hearing from you.
Not sure if you remember when I raced in a relay team in the Murray River Marathon kayak race in a K1
Against you, Guy Leech, Grant Kenny, Guy Andrew’s and Clint Robinson
You guys smashed us, but great fun against you guys. lol.
Thanks mate
Cheers Tim.
I love your point re not filling up the space you have just because you have the space. There are plenty of people who would do well to take heed of that for their own 4x4 and/or camper!!!
Thanks mate.
Yeah, so many people jam as much gear in as they can take.
I only take what’s needed and keep the setup light weight.
Cheers Tim
Congratulations on the new camper it looks very comfortable and totally suitable for 4 wheel driving
Thanks mate.
These campers are so well built for remote off road touring.
Cheers Tim
Well I thought I never see that day well now I have she a good looking camper enjoy Tim one day we may meet good travels
Always room for a bit of change later in life to suit the planned travels better.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
Looking absolutely sensational. Keep it light and basic is the key and you can go just about wherever.
Spot on mate.
Light weight is the go for both camper and tow vehicle.

Awesome, Tim. We also just purchased a second-hand camper trailer, I never thought I would, but here we are. Lol.

Ahh righto.
They are well setup for remote travel.
The wheel swap is a great idea if you can.
Thanks mate.

Congrats on the new purchase. Looking forward to the different adventures ahead.

❤Love the camper, welcome to sleeping off the ground 👍, FYI For extended dirt road driving, consider directing air flow off the top of the camper ,down on to the rear step area, I used 3x 4 inch PVC 90 degree bends, evenly spaced along the back edge too direct air flow........it stops the build up of bull dust on the rear edge/step area, it reduced dust build up by 90%,
All the best with your travels
It’s a big change for me not sleeping on the ground. lol
I’ve seen a few ideas about redirecting air from the back step.
I don’t think it will bother me to much.
I’ll just get a small broom out if it’s needed.

Looks good Tim, would be great for up north, gets you off the ground away from the snapping handbags 😂

Great one Batsy, I love those Ultimate Campers. If you have a capable 4x4 (like yours) those things will go anywhere. I’d probably get a StoneStomper though for it.

It’s handy if you can change the wheels to match your Paj.

That would be on the cards mate.
I’d like to go back over to Tassie.
Cheers Tim
Very nice trailer mate. I've just been working on my camper with putting in a new (second hand) kitchen. I can't wait to get it out on the tracks. I even have matching rims and tyres.
Thanks mate.
I’m so happy with it.
Have you got an Ultimate that you’re putting the kitchen upgrade into?
Matching rims and tyres is the go if you can.
Cheers Tim
Nice rig Tim, the patrol will be a good match for towing the camper
Thanks mate, the Patrol tows it no worries at all.
Cheers Tim
Awesome, looks fantastic. Enjoy it and looking forward to seeing your travels.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
Wear and tear catching up to you Tim. 😉
That's a great camping upgrade. Checked these campers a couple of years back at their HQ at Moruya. These are awesome Aussie made trailers.
Hahah , nah not at all. Just looking for a more comfortable option on longer trips.
Cheers Tim
Great set up Tim.
Enjoy and hope to come across you someday and have a beer with you.
Mat
Thanks Mat, fair chance i'll catch you on the tracks some day.

Do you do talks/ appearances for a 4 wd?
I am a member of a 4 wd club.
Club 4 x 4
@@mathewjeffrey8395 I have done quiet a few 4wd club meeting chats mate.
Just depends where you are based.
@@timbates4wdadventures
We meet at greensborough rsl once a month
@@mathewjeffrey8395 What club are you with mate and how many roughly attend your meetings?
Congrats mate, I would be seriously interested in seeing you do the set up in real time. Think a few would also. Is it something you'd take to the VHC?
Cheers
Thanks mate.
I may look at a full setup vid down the track.
It is so easy and quick to set up.
I have a trip planned for the High Country over Easter and taking the camper.
Cheers Tim
I have the 2012 model, you'll love it....
Yeah they are a great setup.
Cheers Tim
Love to see the egt’s and water temps once you’re pulling that up a big long range
From the trips I’ve done on the road up long haul hills.
I still keep my egts under 400 degrees.
If it means dropping back to third gear and cruising up, that’s all fine.
I’m in no rush to get to places.
Water temp I’m not sure.
Only have my standard water temp gauge.
Cheers Tim
Great setup, simple & go anywhere too. Love it 👍
Spot on mate.
Cheers Tim
Cool Camper Tim!! - looks so good behind the Patrol! I have slept in my vehicle or tented most of my touring life, but I'm almost sold on getting a camper like this. It would be great to see you fully set it up. I'm just so used to things only taking a minute or two to pack up. How do you find it for an overnight stay?
Gday mate
It sure is a great setup.
It’s very easy to setup and pack up.
I can get it done both ways in about 10 minutes.
Not bad for what it is.
I’ll do a setup video down the track mate.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
Bloody awesome mate 🤩
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
