Hello all,

I am new to forum. I used to own a 1999 independent coil sprung (MC2) Track Trailer which I used to travel around central Australia with. Unfortunately I ended up selling it to work on expanding my family knowing that future trips would be very limited over the next couple of years.

With two kids, a wife and 2 pets sorted out, next step will be build or buy another trailer. Over the last few years most of my trips have been primarily with mates up and around high country Victoria using my swag. With my youngest passing 18months, I am ready to start ruffing it again.

I drive a 2005 TD42Ti Nissan Patrol which I have built up over the last 5 years to be a very capable tourer. It has more fruit on it that your local grocer sporting F&R lockers, bar work all round, suspension mods, turbo mods…. List goes on.

I was put onto this site by a work college who suggested this site to be a great source of information. With many questions in my head to be answered, it is time to start browsing the forum.

Welcome zoom001,

Now that you've found us, prepare to become addicted. Sounds like you have the modification bug already with your vehicle ... won't take too much reading to get the same with a new camper!

Apart from that....all the people here are great!!

Hi and welcome. You'll find answers here and the regulars are very helpful.

One thing that confused me when I first joined is that if you wanted to add a profile photo you have to achieve a certain number of posts, from memory 20.

Welcome to MySwag Zoom, a great resource of all things camper and life in general. You have got the correct type of tow vehicle, now all that is needed is a camper behind it, enjoy your stay and join in the banter

G'day Zoom and welcome to MySwag.

There is plenty of research material to be had here, I conducted a fair bit off this site for my own camper and tbh it was what helped with the deciding vote on final purchase.

be prepared to lose lots of time here while enjoying every minute of it.

Welcome Zoom, we're not all crazy herer, best of luck working out who are the sane ones, its a kind of moveable feast that said this a is great place for information.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

After a week of trawling through existing posts I have decided I will build my own 7x4 in-dependant custom trailer.

Since I am currently homeless (living with in-laws) while I wait for my house to be built, I wont be starting until early next year.... gives me plenty of time for research!

Already checked out independent suspension suppliers, Preston Chassis, G&S chassis, Cruisemaster and Huntsman(eBay). The later two are most suited.

I'm sure I will be speaking with many members as I start piecing this project together.

Regards!

Good luck with the build mate, and keep us updated with your thoughts and process.
