Newbie from QLD
« on: December 12, 2012, 10:53:41 PM »
G'day guys I'm new to my swag but definitely not new to the camper trailer  and 4x4 scene. My wife and i have put over 50 thousand ks on our 2 year old camper and have seen some beautiful places and plan to see many more.
This is a great site.

Cheers Shawn

Hey Smacca,

Welcome & Enjoy ... it's all provided for free ... and can be very good entertainment in the Electrical Section ... (kinda like a sealed section but only after some feather ruffling).   ;D  Lots of hints, tips, tours, specials, electrical discussions, fridge analysis, nut and bolt fondling, tyre kicking and every so often a get together to do all of the above.

There could even be some beverage drinking going on.  And, on occassion, a sing along or two.
