Hi From The Gong
« on: March 20, 2011, 05:51:46 PM »
Hi All,

My husband iansixsixsix and l just discovered this site today.... we are currently tent campers but are about to order a GIC offroad camper. We r looking to do a 4 week camping trip around tassie next year as we went there for our honeymoon last october and loved it. This site looks great and l will be telling my friends about it,

Cathie.

Welcome to MySwag. You may want to search for GIC as there are a few interesting threads on them...

Hi Cathie and Ian, welcome to the forum, before you go jumping in on a GIC camper have a look at the camping show at Rosehill Race Course at the end of April there will be some good bargains to be had.

Hi Cathy,

Welcome I agree with Jeff wait for the camping show. We went with Ezy-Trail over Gic because you get alot more for the same price.
