New members from Townsville
« on: May 04, 2011, 11:15:53 AM »
Hi All,

Found My Swag a few weeks ago whilst looking for trailer builds, great site with lots of useful information.
I'm only new to the camper trailer way of life; I and wife Janice hired a camper trailer last year from a local CT hire place here in Townsville and completed a trip to the cape last July / August. Had a great time but had a few places I missed due to my tow car. I have a Subaru Outback 2002 H6 Automatic. Some water crossings being my only problem.

Any way we have regrouped and licked our wounds and recently purchased a 1995 OKA 4x4 and building a slide-on camper for the back.
 
Planning a fishing and camping trip into Lake Field National park later this year.

Chris.

Looking forward to seeing the Oka project as it unfolds (...or rather slides as the case may be ;D)

G'day Chris and welcome, those water crossings must have given you a fright, from a Subaru to a OKA, now that's trading UP :cheers:
