Long time lurker
« on: September 11, 2013, 03:25:22 PM »
Hey Guys,
Long time lurker of the forum, gathering info as i go.
Purchased a trailer and tent top last week, tents now secured to the trailer, water tank, gas struts and stabiler legs on their way, solar ready to go, mattress purchasaed and in the tent, almost ready for our maiden trip. Just going to be a weekend warrior for now, on a budget with kids, but looking forward to using it often.
Thanks for all the info you have alreay provided, i am hoping we keep the set up for a while before the wifey will want to "upgrade" to a caravan....

Thank guys, great welcome!
First plans will probably be Port Stephans, maybe Forster, maybe the watagans for a bit of free camping, though going to be a bit more of a caravan park camper at this stage, as soon as a figure out how to put photos up, they'll be here!
