G'day & Welcome.

Great choice of camper, ask Scoot to tell you about bending the chassis on his Triton when you go to put your money down.

Hi Shoey
Welcome aboard. I reckon you'll be a "shoe" in around here with that rig.
Enjoy your hours of reading this great forum.

Hi Shoey!

Fantastic choice in camper - Aussie Swag was definitely high on our choice list when we were looking.  They churn out an excellent quality camper.  Don't forget to post up piccies when you get it in the My Camper Trailer section and also post up some piccies of your tow buggy in the My 4WD section  :cheers: .

Never know, might see you up here some time...

Morning Shoey and welcome to MySwag.
Heaps of info on here - will take you hours and hours of reading - very addictive. haha
Very exciting buying your first camper.  Well done.
All the best with your Cape York trip.  Did it a few years ago - tenting, no trailer back then.  Loved it and look forward to going again one day.
Have a great day,
Cheers  :D
