Hi everyone,thought I better introduce my self as I have been on here picking up alot of usefull information lately.My wife & I have 3 older kids(11,11,12) & we have been regular bush campers out of tents for many years,but since having 2 more babys(now 1 & 2) we cant fit enough gear on & in our 4by,we have got by with our trailer for awhile but have decided a CT is the way to go.
 The plan was to build our own CT but as it turns out it will be more of a rebuild based on an Ultimate camper,I will explain more in a build up thread.Our tow vechile is a 05 STL Patrol.
 We hope to learn alot thru this forum & get out & enjoy the great outdoors.

Welcome to MySwag Mark and family!

Can't wait to see the build up pics!
Don't forget about the Perth Caravan and Camping Show coming up next Thursday, as it always a great way to be inspired and get creative!

Hi Mark and welcome to MySwag

Seeing as you have such a high quality tow vehicle, have yourself a click on over to Western Patrol Club as well and see if it takes your fancy.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys,I've sent you a PM  Snow regarding shortening my username.I will have to take a look at that patrol forum as well.I would like to have the camper finished by the mid year school holidays but I'm not going to rush it,we're working to a fairly tight budget so if it takes abit longer to save a few $ so be it.
