Post by: Jacko on May 09, 2011, 06:29:44 PM

Hi all, well after lurking on here for a while I thought it was time to say hello. My parents purchased a Camel Discovery Plus last year and after it sat in the garage for 8mths they took it on the maiden voyage in March. Well they decided it was not for them and offered it to me for a price I could not refuse  :angel: I had all ready been researching mods on here to setup the 12v system for them but now its mine there are quite a few more things I want to do to make it suit me, SWMBO and the three kids. Hence I have spent quite a bit of time on here pouring over threads to get ideas and I now have plenty to think about. Hope I can keep you all updated as they start to happen.
Cheers Jacko    (http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff472/Jacko1972/IMG_2592.jpg)          (http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff472/Jacko1972/IMG_0125.jpg)

Cheers all and thanks for the welcome. the 'olds' have downgraded ;D to a used Jayco Swan which will be much more suited to them. Although the tow vehicle at this stage is only a dunnydore wagon hopefully this will change in the not to distant future and maybe we can get to meet a few of you.
Cheers Jacko
