G'day from Melbourne
« on: October 25, 2011, 06:32:18 PM »
Hi All,

Well after approx 8 months of deliberation and indecision we have finally settled on an Offroad Camper Trailer from http://www.geckocampers.com.au/ and laid a deposit down. We should pick it up in a few weeks and get out on a maiden trek with the family soon after.

Look forward to reading and participating in the forums. I am sure there will be a few tips and tricks to pick up off these pages.

Very happy to be a part of this fraternity with people who share the love of the outdoors.

It will either be Dargo or Murray river between Cobram and Yarrawonga

I am not sure yet, probably get a better feel after a couple of trips. But reading a few posts I would have to say pole carrier, drawers and a boat rack. I had them make provisions for a rack before the powder coating.
