Stumbled across this forum while looking for information on camper trailers.
Grew up in the bush NW of Camooweal but have been in Roma 5 years. The desire to educate our kids about the bush, Australian history and the outdoors in general has led to a recent want/need to get stuck into camping.
Complete noob to the camper trailer idea - spent months in swags in mustering camps with a cooking van and that's about it.
Looking forward to doing my research & hopefully snagging a camper trailer in the next 6-12 months. Thinking a hard floor might be the go.
Regards,
Dicko.

The trick will be looking at a few before I buy. Don't think I'll be able to get to many shows etc.
Will rely heavily on my Google foo and this forum. Pretty good at sifting through for good ideas & advice.
Been checking out the classifieds - there's a couple of neat tricks there alright!
Regards,
Dicko.

Expecting to be in Roma on 29-30 September on our way to Longreach and Winton and then back again on 11 October on our way through to Toowoomba.
Was in Roma last year in June - where we bought two really good camp chairs from a store in the main street on special. And they were a bargain - bought one more when back in Canberra and it cost me $90 from Rays. Got 2 for $120 in Roma.
Still looking at where to park the Cub Camper - any recommendations. Don't require power.
Happy for you to come and have a look.
Cheers

Yes they are a great shop and very good people, it was their trailer I borrowed initially and which cemented the idea for us.
That would be great please, let me know when you're in town.
I will keep my eyes open, only place I really know of is the Big Rig Park. There are plenty of places but a good way out of town.
Regards,
Dicko.

Thanks Dicko - was looking at the Big Rig park. $45 a night for 3 of us - unpowered nit cheap but it looks ok.
I'll get you to PM and we can exchange mobiles once I am on the road. Coming via Dubbo and Lightning Ridge.
