Hi there - We're expecting.. A Vacation Camper that is :D
« on: November 11, 2012, 04:56:40 PM »
Hello everyone,

We'd like to introduce ourselves and say hi, my hubby Matt, and I & our 5 rugrats have taken the leap, from tent to trailer, and are expecting our new arrival on the 24th of November.

We're from Brissy, and love getting away with our boys, camping, fishing, bike riding... all that good stuff you need growing up.

.. and since it's our new passion, and we'd love to talk about camper trailers all day long, we figured this might just be the forum for us.

As far as camper trailers are concerned, we don't know that much, but are looking forward to learning all the tricks and tips that will help us get the most out of our new investment.

..and just for the smiley faces with the signs above, I've included a photo of our Vacation Camper being built.

Welcome Matt and Elle.  Those Vacation campers look nice with their curved drawbar.  Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Happy camping

Don't plan on being there for 5 minutes, you'll need to take a few refreshments with you and a comfy chair  ;D

LOL, I'm obsessed already, might need a sleeping bag and an Esky!!

How addictive is this Camper Trailer stuff. We spent last night packing our stuff into an imaginary trailer / kitchen box, we marked out on the floor, just to see whats going to fit.

So sad, can't even wait until we get the real thing...

Welcome crew.

5 ruggrats!  Good 2 see youve finally figured out the cause and now got some time 2 go camping.

Wish we had have had a CT when our 2 were in the rugratt phase.  That aside, they still enjoy getting out with us now they're both in their 20's.

Enjoy your adventures.

Cheers,

We picked up our new Vacation Camper last month and are just so impressed with it.  Theo and Pauline make a fantastic trailer.  Theo does a full set-up and pull-down demonstration when you pick the trailer up.  Have fun!
