hello from western sydney
« on: August 06, 2013, 09:26:22 PM »
Hi all,

just recently purchased a customline camper trailer (awaiting delivery). been camping in tents and swags for a number of years and have decided it's time for a bit more comfort.

looking forward to getting out there and camping and touring with the trailer.

have found there is lots of useful info on this site.

thanks chris

Welcome to the friendliest place on the web.

The wait will be worth it in the long run, and from all reports a great buy by yourself.

What are you going to be pulling the Customline with?

Hi weso

Do the swaggers in western Sydney get away much as a group?

Until about a month ago I was a western sydney MySwagger. Tried to organise a get together but everyone piked as it was going to be a cold and wet weekend. Musn't have had the diesel heaters in their campers.

I recall that Trip Bunyip as I obviously didn't pike out, -3.2 degrees was the temperature which was no issue ;D

Ok the diesel heater did work wonders that night  ;D
