Another Newbie
« on: March 07, 2012, 09:28:30 PM »
G'day everyone!

What a great forum! I discovered it a few days ago and have been glued to it since then. I'm currently a tent camper and recently took my wife on her first camping trip which she enjoyed fortunately. I'm in the market for a second hand camper trailer to make it easier to go more often. We have two year old son and I want to teach him to love the outdoors from as young as possible and get him out of Sydney as often as possible.

I've learnt heaps from this forum already, so thanks for that.

Chat soon
Kevo.

G'day Kevo,

To MySwag.
Kids love camping, they love to learn about the great outdoors, they are sponges for the information.
If the wife is happy, well hey  ;D
Happy wife, Happy life  :cup:
We've been  camping with our three( Nealy 14, nearly 12, nearly 10)  since 05,
Last year at Easter I taught the youngest, To start a fire with a magnifying glass

Picture Levuka 2011, he's now our fire caretaker at home when we have a camp cookup  or when out camping.
Happy & Safe travels.
 :cheers:

G'day Kevo and welcome,
Hope you find your dream camper, it will be out there for sure, all depends on the $$$$. As you have probably already worked out, you just need to ask.
This forum is one sure way to chew up some serious time, enjoy.

Cheers Ray

Hi Kevo, welcome to the forum.
Great idea getting the kids out into the bush. Will give them memories that last a life time.

G'day Kevo, welcome and good luck finding your camper. I just finished my search after hiring a few. It's a great way to choose and have a great time as well. I have to say I liked them all so it's hard to go wrong.
