Hi All, I am joining here because I am in process of Camper Van purchase. I have always been a camper/ 4x4 person but this will be my first van. It is a road going concern for my first, Forest River Flagstaff 10' camper from Puma RV's NSW. Collection is next month. It caught my eye with lots of features and appears good value for money. I am in throws of planning mods in my head as time goes on. I already need to do some car stuff on my 4x4 to suit this addition prior to pick up. Brake controller, Anderson Plugs and the like.
I live near Melbourne. My favourite camping is at Kevington near Jamieson, Victoria where I go most years with family and friends. I have a trip planned with friends in 12 months time to Central Australia. They have a full size van. My 4x4 (Nissan Terrano II diesel with dual batteries) is only mid sized so I wanted to keep size/weight down. I have a 2000 kg towing limit and did not want to exceed over 75% of this with van and any other load such as recovery gear and some additional camping gear for 4x4 camping with van left behind at caravan parks and such.
I intend to traved with just my wife and with accompanying friends in their campers/vans when that works too. I am still working so travel time is in holiday time at this stage. The way the world economies are going I will be working until I am 99 before I can retire. LOL
