Gidday from a newbie on the Sunshine Coast Qld
« on: January 14, 2011, 06:02:46 PM »
Gidday Campers,

Just upgraded to my first off-road camper trailer. Haven't taken possie of the new beast yet, but am looking forward to many outings in it.

I did have a Vacation light off-road camper which the family really loved, but it had noreal substantial carrying capacity or off-road cred.

Literally just delivered the old trailer and went and looked at a Lifestyle Extenda which is currently owned by a fellow my swag member (don't know his handle on this site) and liked what I saw.

Should be taking delivery of the new camper by Saturday week. Can't wait  ;D

Do any of you fellow swaggers own a lifestyle camper or know of anyone who has one and whether they are as good as they look ?

Any feedback would be good.

Cheers, Balfang  :cheers:

Gidday mate,

Yeh, really looking forward to getting a hold of the camper. You should be proud of it and I know you are reluctantly parting with it.

Don't despair, we will take good care of it mate.

Have a safe trip down south and see u next Saturday.

Cheers,

Balfang (Keith)  :cheers:

G'day & Welcome.

Congratulations on your new camper. Buying a used camper is a great idea.

We've had our Lifestyle Extenda (new) for just over a month now, and have got away 3 times in it since then (even in the awful SEQ weather) - we're absolutely loving it..

Hey Toad (Gary),

Where do you learn to speak Balfang. I haven't come across anyone else who ever knew it. I learn't it about 17 years ago with the whole joke routine.

Cheers Balfang (Keith)  :cheers:

Thanks for the info 60 Series,

Will see how my work roster works out. Went to Cruiser Park back in November 2010 just after Mud, Bulls & Music. I hope they have cleaned the dunnies/showers by now, as they hadn't done it straight after that event.

Will check the thread as mentioned.

Cheers Keith  :cheers:
