How much did you pay for the jayco?

I'd be getting my moneys worth and using it!   Why buy a camper trailer and sleep in a swag?
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

with a van I agree.

but for me if its just me I'll take the swag or BlackWolf.. too much hassle for one person for 1 night, but if it was 3+ nights... I'd take trailer.

Swags it is, as much as I'd like to take the camper, towing it that far, basically just for my own comfort, not really worth the extra fuel.
I understand what you guys are saying, value for money, you bought it to use it, etc.. which is why I asked the question.

Thanks for all the advice, Silverton may be on the cards, see how the weekend goes.

Cheers, Big Ears.
