Hi from Melbourne
« on: January 13, 2011, 01:44:23 PM »
Hi all

have been a member for a bit, but have been just absorbing the information from the forum to help my decision on a camper. I have decided at this stage on a CUB Kamperoo weekender to tow behind my Forester. I will probably order it some time mid year after i finish a bit of touring i have planned.

cheers
Tony

Welcome Tony,

I'm sure you like the cub, be mindful that we had a 5 month wait on our when we ordered it (if you are looking at new)

Cheers

Hi Tony & welcome to the forum, you will be happy with your Cub, just remember there will be a wait after you place the order.

Thanks for the welcome guys  :)

I am going to Tassie in March for 4 weeks and when we get back were going to shoot out to Cambellfield for a good look.

Thanks for the heads up from fabulous and hutchie62, i figured there might be a wait of around 6months or so, would give me the chance to get through another winter in a tent and look forward to spring or summer in the camper. Shooting out to Camerons Corner etc next year.

Hi D4D thanks for the welcome :) any idea when the next meet is on? i wouldnt mind checking out some setups

cheers
