21/08/14 - Some mods before pickup

Before we could return to Narrabri to pick up the 5th wheeler a brake controller had to be fitted.

I used the Tekonsha Primus IQ previously fitted to our Commodore and it was a reasonably easy install, found a nice little shelf under the steering wheel where it came to hand easily.

The next job was to fit some towing mirrors and after having used about 4 types of towing mirrors, none of which particularly appealed, it was decided that after spending this amount of money on a rig we would get a pair of Clearview mirrors. I had earlier driven another Colorado which had those fitted and was very impressed.

ARB Bendigo quoted us $110 to fit these and after watching the Clearview video I couldn't see the value in that, so decided to the do the job myself.

So, off with the original mirrors.

And about half an hour later the Colorado had a set of "dumbo ears" as my granddaughter calls them.

Wouldn't mind having a full time job fitting those at $110 a pop!
