Lurker come poster.
« on: February 27, 2013, 12:51:02 AM »
Hey Everyone. Newbie from Perth.

Been reading Myswag for a while just as a lurker but finally bought myself a camper so I thought I better sign up and start to contribute.  I grew up in country towns with heaps of camping as a young fella with the parents. Then obviously you become your own person and get married etc. My wife was never into camping and she didnt really like the idea when we first got together. 

However we have been together for the best part of 10 years now and she loves camping and getting away.. Still have to caravan park it every now and again as she likes the use of a nice bathroom etc.  We have tried everything from swagging - roof top tenting and touring tent camping.  Recently we have done some trips with friends with Jaycos and decided we really liked the idea of a camper trailer.  We didnt have a huge budget and started looking around at imported hard floors and the like. However in the end a Jayco Eagle Outback popped up at the right price and we jumped on it.

Will still keep the swag for those excursions where the Jayco cant come with us. Look forward to posting more and learning as I go as I have found Myswag a great resource so far.

Stay Tuned for a Thread about my Tug and the Camper in the relevant forums.
