Hi from the Gold Coast
« on: November 12, 2012, 07:53:10 PM »
Hey All,

My name is John and the wife and I just picked up our first CT, kinda a big step for both of us as we haven't done anything camping related since we were teenagers. We got an on-road fully galvanised Seeker from Swag Camper Trailers in Brisbane. Set it up yesterday - it took a little longer than the 10 minute video we got  ;D ;D and its currently having the canvas seasoned - thanks everyone for the info about that.
We be asking lots of questions and hopefully posting lots about upcoming trips with our two hounds.

And yes I'll post pics cause:  :worthles:

Cheers

John

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, Germana (the much much much better half)) and I look forward to sharing our experiences with you.

BD - still have a few bits and pieces to get, but Germana wants to go away for a few days over Christmas - eeeeek. Not sure where yet, need to do some research on dog friendly sites around SE Qld.

Cheers

Welcome. We are on the GC also. Plenty of dog friendly places around. Our dogs have only ever missed 1 trip in there life with us.

Enjoy your camping.

Welcome to the Forum John, just get out there and have a go, I bet after the first time you will be saying "why didnt we do this years ago", have fun and keep us updated on your travels. Ask away if you need any help
