Thanks for the warm welcome.
I have been around campsites and campers for a few years now, and always took an interest in features, etc. Over the last few years I thought I had a reasonable idea of what I wanted in a CT, but after the past 2 weeks of detailed searching I have discovered that there is a whole list of features that I never knew existed.
As recommended to me by Rod Camping - I think it is time to make a spreadsheet checklist of features / options / price totals to help make the job easier. I like the Lifestyle but not sure the budget will 'extend' that far, so having fun checking out some other makes - Trackabout looks the goods!
We have an 80 series GXL factory turbo with all the fruit, so would like a CT that will stand up easily to being dragged through rough bush tracks and down the beach. We have to be self suficient with water and power options, as the best places often have neither. We get into fishing, camp cooking, and teaching our girls about our awesome country.
A mate from work is very generously loaning me his on road Cavalier for a week in the new year so we can have a taste of CT life. We will be taking our girls (18 months and 3 1/2yo) to 1770, a family favourite camp ground for the last 30yrs. Considering our girls are still so young, we are looking forward to many years of family adventures!!
Watching my total time logged in GROW!
Cheers.
