New to Campers!
« on: September 27, 2012, 01:36:08 PM »
G'day all,
Joined up like most people looking for info/inspiration.

Picking up my new John Papas trailer along with a PMX camper top tomorrow before we head off for the long weekend now the weather has turned.
Been swagging it for years but the addition of a missus and soon to be two kids to take has severly hampered my "independence"...
So to make it easier on us all we decided to get a trailer as the Discovery has Bugger all room in the back for our stuff once we're all packed.

We're located in the south west of wa. Try to get away every month to the coast for some fishing or escapism from the daily grind that working in the forest brings!

Hi AC,

Welcome to the madhouse, lots of people with lots of friendly advice on here.

Congrats on the CT purchase, I would love to be able to think about getting away once a month.

Congratulations on finding this wonderful forum!  Oh and getting a CT!   ;D  You are bound to find a wealth of inspiration, modification, jubilation, intripidation, and mental lubrication that just can't be found elsewhere.  It's gets into your system and before you know it ... you'll be addicted (that's a warning for the better half).  Don't forget we love photos and trip reports here so ....

Bunyip,  You're Doing It Wrong!   ;D  We get away each fortnight without fail.  There is nothing like a bi-weekly weekend trip to inspire ones soul and chase away the cobwebs of suburbian life.   :cup:

Cheer's everyone.
Picked up camper and trailer and just got back from two nights down the coast.
Awesome. Some fine tuning needed but certainly an improvement on what we had!
