Hi everyone,
 We are a family of 4, kids are 10 and 13 and we enjoy getting out away from the madding crowds.
We own a Goldstream trailer tow with a Patrol, and am always looking for ideas to improve what we have. Normally have a 2 week trip in sept and a few long weekends whenever we can. Are not super experienced but gain in confidence each time we go away

G'day & Welcome.

There are a few good threads on Goldstream mods on here, plus plenty more on every other thing. Best way to fid stuff you like os get out with other campers though, so try to make it to a forum meet or two if you can.

Welcome Richard, I too am new to the forum and fairly inexperienced, you'll find heaps of info from well experienced people here, be careful not to spend too much time reading here ;D ;D
