Title: I'm a newby
Post by: Robdog65 on July 31, 2016, 10:42:47 PM
G'day everyone I've just join myswag and trying to work out how to use it so be patient with me ! So far in my camping career I've been a 3 hour putting up a tent kind a guy while trying not to kill the kids at the same time ! I'm sure most of you have been there ! That's what all the grey nomads tell me anyway ! I've joined this site mainly because I'm now looking at getting a forward fold caper trailer and would love some input from experienced campers like yourselves. So far I've read lots of horror stories about dealings with unsavoury camper trailer sellers ! Scares me off a bit but I have seen some that look to have good reviews eg Bluewater campers , Broadwater and modcon. I'm looking at spending around 20k for a forward fold camper and I have 2 kids and I live in gods country Darwin NT and wish to explore further afield to place like the Gibb river road and Coburg etc and would love some feedback and suggestions . Cheers Robbo

Welcome Robbo,

You have found the right site to get info, with a lot of very experienced people willing to share.

I don't own one, but I have heard a lot of good things about Campsite TL8s as a family camper. I know new they are double your budget, but I thought you might get one second hand at closer to the target.

All the best with whatever you choose.

Hi Robdog
We live in God's backyard too,  we run a KK platinum rearfold and have been around the top a bit,  if you think we may be able to share stuff,  drop a PM on here

Forward folds are ok if you're going to in one place for more than a few days............if you're on the move daily...........forget it.
Life on the track is a lot more fun when you don't have to spend a few hours setting in the arvo and a few hours packing up in the morn every day for weeks.
Get a hard floor rear fold, one where the bed area is deep enough to keep all the bedding on when pack up. Same goes for a roof top tent for the kids.................You should be able to purchase a decent Pioneer, Aussie swag, etc hard floor rear fold and a decent roof top tent for under $20K.
