Hi from WA
« on: April 26, 2011, 01:46:17 PM »
G'day guys

I live in Perth, and drive a 1997 Toyota Hilux. I don't own a camper trailer (and I doubt my hilux would pull one!) but would love to purchase one in the future. Anything that is outdoors is of interest including Camping, 4wding, Fishing, Spearfishing and Boating.

See you out there!

Welcome to the forum Aaron. A camping trailer is a wonderful thing I wish that I had got earlier.
Are you on any other forums?

Welcome to MYSWAG Aaron - the hilux might be slow, but it will get you there. Go for it and get a camper, you'll never look back!

Good to see you here Aaron, lots of great info and people.  You did however forget to mention that you have a pretty neat little website yourself with info for people camping over here.  I rate it and definitley think it is worth a look

Thanks guys - you really are very welcoming!

@D4D - Mine is a 2.4 petrol/gas. Probably just as slow!
@Burnsy - Thanks a lot for the comment. I didn't mention my website as I would prefer to ask the mods about linking to it first. I don't want to be seen as a spammer!

Looks like I will be spending a lot of time here
