Hi from Melbourne
« on: May 06, 2014, 06:32:13 PM »
So my girlfriend and I bought our first camper trailer on the weekend from a family friend who doesn't use there's anymore. It's a '97 southern cross camper in excellent condition. Lacking some of the modern stuff but the canvas is very strong and incredibly quick and easy to put up. Looking forward to picking it up and start adding things.

I'm a 22 year old structural engineer from Melbourne and I plan to do a lot of work on it myself as I'm a stereotypical engineer in that regard.

Happy to be joining such an active forum and hope that in time I can help others out as I'm sure you'll all be teaching me a thing or two!

Welcome, Sometimes  the older  style campers can  be just as good, or better than newies.
