Well, like many before me I have sought occasional advice from the My Swag community as a guest. In late 2011 I purchased a Mountain Trail Escape from Albury. I grew up on the land so have enjoyed many nights under the stars in a swag and in the past 10 years we have a number of family camping holidays with a canvas touring tent. Being from Wagga Wagga I was pleased to be in a position to purchase a quality trailer from just down the road in Albury. It took approx 18months of thinking (some call it procrastinating) and a 2 year subscription to the Camper Trailer Australia magazine was also very helpful.
The trailer was a late 2011 demo Escape and i think I have correctly attached a picture of the actual trailer to this post - I hope that this is OK to do in an introduction. I had the boat rack modified to include a mesh floor and higher side rails and I also added 17" wheels / tyres to match the Prado. There are a number of other options and I am very happy with the camper trailer. It suits us at this point in our lives with two kids aged 14 & 12.
Since Nov-11 we have camped at Mulwala NSW, Tathra NSW & Jindabyne NSW. Last weekend we did a one nighter on Blowering Dam (hour and a bit from Wagga) with friends and their speed boat. The camper trailer and speed boat was a good combo with the camper trailer providing a good base.
July this year will see a trip to Ayers Rock and Alice springs which is something good to look forward to and I will no doubt be looking to My Swag for some valuable advice and tips.....
So there you go, that's my intro.....
Thanks for all of the ongoing advice and I hope that I can contribute to a few things here and there.
