Hello from Dysart.
« on: January 27, 2012, 06:01:21 PM »
Hi fellow members, We will be picking up our 2010 Jayco Eagle Outback tomorrow - very excited. It has a good lot of factory options & is a fair price, I will post some pics after collection.
Will be towing it with the 2007 Di Ti pathfinder, I have been doing some reading & have ordered the airbags from trucksprings already & will fit them up when they arrive. If any mods are required to the camper I will be doing most of them myself as I am reasonably handy & completed a Motor Mechanic apprenticeship in a past life.
Living in Dysart in Queenslands central highlands.

Cheers. ;D

Thanks everyone, have got the camper home now & am very happy. Put it up for wife & kids to have a look through, a little bit quicker than our last 2x soft floor campers we had. Had to pack it up again as a storm rolled through....

Not sure yet - probably will be a shakedown run somewhere close...Theresa creek possibly, later on Blackdown tablelands, Carnarvon & Eungela, all on our hit list. Then who knows.......
