Hi All,

Just joined up after using this site for last couple of months. I must say this site is an absolute gold mine of info... I drive a 07' Nissan X-trail and i'll be picking up an 07' Jayco Swan Outback this Tuesday 5th!!! Woohoo! :D I already have a list of things to do for it!

My wife and I are starting a year long trip around Australia in October (ish). Heading anti clockwise, and will be chasing the summer sun during our trip! Trying to save money by catching as many fish dinners as possible, and camping in cheap/free campsites where possible.

Any tips or advice for our trip - places, cost reduction, things to make the Swan a great home away from home etc - would be much appreciated!

No doubt i'll be posting some questions once i get my hands on the Swan!

Cheers, :cheers:
Ben

Cask wine is cheaper than beer, and red doesn't need to take up room in the fridge  :cheers:
