Greetings All. New camper on it's way.
« on: May 08, 2012, 08:43:41 AM »
Hi All,

I've been reading a few topics for the last few weeks and thought I should join and contribute.

We (I'm a family man) have been camping on the NSW Sth coast with relos for years. We'll go 2 to 3 times a year and so far have only stuck to caravan parks (I'll have a hard time convincing the wife to let go of the facilities).

We've been doing the tent / tarp thing which used to be really quick and easy. But as the family's grown so has the load.

So we have just ordered a new Vacation Camper Tourer. We'll be picking it up in June. Only downside is I can't take the boat as well but that's another story. Pics will come when the Camper does.

Anyway, very excited and can't wait to get my hands on it. Looking forward to getting some tips on some minor mods I'd like to do to it over the next 12 months.

Cheers.

Welcome Camparound,

Gotta get back up that way, South Coast NSW is a nice area.

Enjoy your times here.

They look like a very well built trailer so I am looking forward to getting it in my yard and having a closer look.
Will take the photos, but be warned, we are not camera happy plus our digital camer is cactus so my phone will have to do.

Love the south coast, so many unspoilt, uncrowded spots to choose from. Especially this time of year, must be too cold for most people.
