    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

    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.)

    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

    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

    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.
    Be polite. Be professional. But... have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
