Hi Guys,

Not much to say yet, however I have already got some great ideas and advice reading your posts.

My wife and I used to be tent travellers, however a toddler and my persistance for an inner spring matress finally meant we pick up the Lifestyle 360 with a million extra's tomorrow, right in the middle of the Brisbane C & C show. We bought it because we borrowed our mates numerous times and it was perfect for us. His has been to the cape the hard way a few times and came back completely unscathed.

It will be towed by our 6 month old PB Challenger with a lot of extras. Of the 4wd's we've had, 1998 GU 2.8 Litre, 2003 3.0 litre Gu and 2007  BT50, the Challenger is by far the best one we've had.

Look forward to posting sme photo's and adventures.

G'Day Guys,

Well done on your purchase, nothing wrong with wanting a few of the comforts as we get older  ;D
Yep, there is plenty of great info here to help with mods to your camper and some great info on where to take it.
