Title: New member from the Gold Coast
Post by: Busta on May 24, 2011, 08:45:06 PM

G'day all, wish I could brag about my new camper trailer, but we are still in the shopping phase, doing heaps of research here on myswag ;D, well that's my excuse anyway.

The other half and I have been camping for a good few years, started off in a 2 man tent, realising along the way that if we could survive 3 weeks away in it, we would probably make a go of life together.  I'll be keeping my Oztrail, 2 room modified dome for those places where towing isn't appropriate, but am looking for something a bit more convenient and comfortable for our usual haunts.  We seem to be narrowing the choice down to a Jayco type poptop, although time will tell.  We'll generally be towing with my Colorado D/C 4x4, although the missus RAV may be called to duty if we decide to drag the boat along too - say to Noosa.

Lots to look forward to!

Cheers Busta

Welcome Busta. Heaps of great info on this forum. We have just sold our tent & are waiting for our new & first camper trailer to be built. Was seriously considering the Jayco swan but then decided on a soft floor camper instead

Thanks for the warm welcome, this seems to be a friendly place with lots of good ideas :cup:.  Much as I'd love to go splash out on something new at the Brissie show, I don't like owing money on toys so will probably end up with something pre-loved that I can fine tune to my requirements.  Must say I am really impressed with the projects section, some of you are craftsmen!

G'day & Welcome Busta.

Good luck with choosing your camper, highly recommend hiring a few if you haven't had an opportunity to try many out.
