New member from the Gold Coast
« on: May 31, 2011, 05:33:20 PM »
Gday everyone. I have been a lurker here for awhile and thought it was time to introuduce myself. We have just brought a (new to us) Bushmate Camper trailer, it is our first trailer after getting fed up with trying to fit everything into the Pajero to go camping. The bushmate camper is made in Nerang QLD. So far we have only taken it on 2 weekend trips (only owned it for 5 weeks) and we love it. I have learnt alot by this forum and it has helped my decide what i want on the camper. Thanks for all the great information. Now time for the mods to begin and yes i know    :worthles: . But i will put some up in time.

Hi Everyone
Thanks for the nice welcome. The mods that i have planned (to start with) are LED lights, draws for the trailer and stone gaurd. Then from there i will have to see what the minister for war and finance will let me do. The worst thing is i am busy this weeked and the wife is going away the following weekend so i wont be using it for a few weeks. Maybe i should just take it away when she is away for the weekend

Welcome Smartway.  Maybe you should just accidentally spend the rent on it while she's away.  I suggest a 250A Mig.

G'day & Welcome.

I highly recommend the Stone Stomper product, if you don't get around to making your own stone protection.

Hi & good to see another Gold Coaster
The camper trailer upgrade is great compared to a tent & you'll find yourself going camping more
As we did

Good luck with that one.  Hubby often suggests he could go away for a weekend when I'm working.  As if!!!!   haha      Anyway, welcome to the forum from the far north.   We were the same - after years, in fact, decades of tent camping, trying to fit everything in the car, decided we needed to spoil ourselves with a camper trailer.  Aren't they awesome!!  Like you, we're trying to get away as often as possible - 4 trips in 9 weeks so far and then there's the Queen's Birthday weekend coming up too.  Woo Hoo! Never went camping that often with just the tent etc.
Enjoy your time on the site here.
Cheers
Sharyn  :D
