Hi there folks.

I've been reading this forum for a while, (great read) thought I should start
Contributing. We have been CT users for a while now, We are a family of 4. 2 kids 3 & 5.
Our first was an Outback Sturt. We now have An Obriens, also pre loved.
We live bayside Melbourne, and usually go bush or beach camping. I like going places I haven't been before.
Although going back to places we really like great too.
A series II discovery td5 gets us where we want to go.

Cheers, Harvs

Hey Blackstump,
The Disco tows pretty well, it feels the bigger hills but don't they all.
It is chipped, and has a bigger intercooler which helps negate some
Of the weight of the stuff I have bolted to it.

Hi Bigjules,

When we bought the sturt it, it represented great value for our dollar. We did not want to spend heaps on a camper that gets used 6 times year. It was well traveled, but the quality of the outback is great. All I needed to do to is was rewater proof the canvas, and fix a little leak in the floor seem. I could trust it in the heaviest rain. However, there were things I didn't like. Hard to load/pack, heavy tow ball weight, and the alko rubber suspension. It didn't have brakes either, and I think it really needed them. I found a better CT for a price to good to pass up. So far we have used the new Obriens  3 times.I'm really happy with it.
Cheers, Harvs
