New member rv newbie
« on: April 22, 2012, 01:49:53 PM »
Hi to all,  My name is Roger, I'm a new member and new to the rv world. I hired a Avan golf  bush challenger for a week at the start of the year. We set up and moved 3 times and we had a ball with the kids.

I've got a new one on order and it should be ready in a week or so. It's basically a swan clone but seems to have better quality through out. Getting off road version called the bush challenger, has prostor awnings on both sides and a full camproom. Has external shower,  trauma hot water, thetford 90 litre fridge and 2 80 litre tanks. Also has air command reverse cycle air con and mandatory bed end flys. Interested in anyone else that has one as they are quite new to the market. One I'm getting has a worm drive electric lift system.

Comments welcome

Welcome, but Roger I must direct you to the rules of the forum.  >:(
You must have roughed it for a few years before going 1 st class.  Sounds like a very comply set up.
Hope you have heaps of fun and get that rig real dirty!  ;D

G'day Roger.

Have you taken delivery yet ?

I ordered one recently too, but due to lack of service from their Penrith (NSW) office, I cancelled it.

I hope you are treated better than I was.
