Title: Time to travel Australia
Post by: RnR_USA on October 01, 2015, 11:05:43 PM
Having travelled over 30,000 miles around the USA in a 5.9 litre Dodge Ram truck towing a 40ft fifth wheel trailer we have decided to take the plunge and buy a camper trailer and travel our great land. We have met so many great people in our USA trips and hope to do the same in Australia. We have opted for a camper trailer as we are to young to just do the highways as we want to travel the roads less travelled and camped.

Sorry for the mis conception, we are Aussies and will continue to return to the USA as it such a great place, remembering we travelled there and avoided the tourist hot spots on most occasions. The people are fantastic. We have plenty of time as we are both retired, camper is on order. I will post on the camper thread for that.

We also did a blog for those iterested.

Our baby is progressing well and we just can't wait to take delivery. Trackabout, true to their word keep us updated with photo's of our build. We only live 15 klm from the factory and we are free visit as we want but for those of you further away photo's of your build has to be a great thing. Again well done Trackabout.
