G'day g'day

Gday g'day

My self and my wife have been talking about getting a camper for years and only now have decided that we are def getting one.  Just got to pick which one. I have my eye on a few which are going to be at the Rocky camping and caravan show this coming up weekend.

Been camping in swags then tents for years, time for an upgrade.

Been looking around on the site while waiting and have got some great info.  Great site.

Cheers and beers

Well we have made our selection for a camper.  We have choosen the Sandpiper camper from Swag Campers with the 12foot tent and the extra room and also the boat rack. 

Unsure if we will pick up the demo one from the Rocky show or order one and shoot down to Brisbane to pick it up in a week or so.

I was a lurker here for ages before signing up which lead me to today.

Ordered the Sandpiper from Swag today with 12ft straight side tent with the rear room (for long stays). Boat rack and has the 70lt water tank, 2 gas bottle holders, 2 jerry can holders, tool box, the standard kitchen with stainless sink (which will be modified anyway), inner spring mattress and tropical roof (will need to be modded to be more sturdy).

Pick it up first weekend of October. Will work out alright, I will knock off work Friday morning so I will get a dog box at work for a snooze (thats a complete diff story there) then head to Brissy to pick it up Saturday morning and home Saturday night.  I will have until I go back to work Thursday arvo to do what I need to do to it at home.

Now the waiting game.....  :-[
