Post by: Benji on November 01, 2011, 08:39:44 PM
Hi everyone! We've just ordered a new Lifestyle Extenda Elite camper trailer.  I found the information on this forum very helpful in making our decision so thanks everyone for your contributions.

Hi Benji, welcome, might see you about the tracks, there are a few of us in the area.  Get some stickers from Brett, I might get you in Spotted thread if you come through Warwick.

Thanks for the welcome.  I've just confirmed some additions to the order for the camper.  It should be ready around the end of this month.

Hello Benji,
Good to see another twba-ite on the site. May catch up one day. Where are you looking at going camping?
Title: Re: Hi from Toowoomba
Post by: Benji on November 28, 2011, 12:30:49 PM
Queen Mary falls near Killarney, Girraween national park or Storm King dam some options. Not sure we'll fit a weekend in though so first trip may be the week at the beach. Might just have to sleep in it the backyard for the first night. Got to get batteries and solar panels etc sorted before we can go anywhere.
Cheers,
Benji

We haven't been away much since getting ours either (in late August). Last year we went to Gordon's Country near Allora with the tent and horses, it was a great spot, creek was running and wasn't t a long weekend so not too many people.
Also Boono Boono nat park near stanthorpe is a good spot.

Hi Benji, welcome aboard.  I'm a newbie too.  I grew up in T-bar and get back up there regularly.  You're one step ahead of me with the camper though, as I'm still 'researching'!  Hopefully I'll get one mid next year at tax time.  We're planning a big trip in 2013 and I can't see how we can manage it without a camper trailer.

A mate of mine recently got one of those Lifestyle campers and he is raving about it.  Good luck with yours!

G'day and welcome to Myswag,

I also live in Toowoomba and am also planning a stay at Mudjimba early Jan so will keep an eye for you to say hello, have stayed there at Easter and is OK.  I also personally know the Sales Manager from Lifestyle and am sure he is looking after you.  Although I don't own a Lifestyle CT they are a great product and am sure you will enjoy for many years to come.

Cheers

Hi! Thanks for the welcome.  We pick the camper trailer up on Saturday so getting quite excited. Then we're in the market for a couple of batteries, charger, solar panels, lights etc. Looking forward to trying it out soon.
Cheers,

Don't forget the pics mate! What mods do you have in mind? (All CTs need modifications) even Lifestyle Extendas!

How did you go Benji?
Title: Re: Hi from Toowoomba
Post by: Benji on December 12, 2011, 06:21:10 PM
Pickup is now on Friday. There is a drawer on the side that we thought was included but turns out was an optional extra on the display model we saw at the show. They offered to either fit the drawer with pickup in a few days or merchandise to the same value. I really like the big drawer because it will make packing so much easier. We opted to have the drawer fitted so pickup is now Friday afternoon. We had to make a trip to Brisbane either Friday or Saturday anyway so no drama to postpone pickup.  Camper trailer looks great - I think we'll be very comfortable.  Looking forward to camping in it soon.
Cheers,
Benji

Well, we picked up our new Lifestyle Extenda Elite this afternoon.  Just got home about an hour ago.  The other half is still in the garage admiring it.  Looks fantastic and tows like a dream even with the Forester.  Looking forward to some good times exploring this amazing country.
