Another newby
« on: January 12, 2012, 04:29:37 PM »
Hello to all.

I (we) have recently bought a new adrenaline rush camper trailer.
Spent the last 40 years progressing through various forms of tent camping and finally decided to give the camper trailer
idea a go.

Own a toyota HZJ105 GXL to pull it with.

Been a bit of a lurker on this site for a couple of months and finally decided to sign up as you seem a friendly lot.

Hopefully meet some of you on the road (or pub).

Cheers John

Thanks very much for all your thoughts.

Apologies; should have mentioned I'm from Sydney NSW (Annandale).
I found out about this site from the lcool forum and should know better than not supplying this sort of info ;D

Welcome to myswag John,

it's a great move getting out of tents and into the camper. Best thing I found is that everything is already packed and ready to go. Just grab some clothes and food, hook up the trailer and off you go.

Hi John and

To Myswag.
We started out in a tent, which got bigger, than a trailer tent camper, which got bigger again as our family grew.
Now an old Swan, and it just right for the moment  ;D
But as the kids grow our camping needs will change as well with that.
Heaps of useful know how here.
Happy & safe travels.
 :cheers:
