Hi!
I'm new here so I thought that I would I introduce myself
My name is Michelle, and I've just bought my first camper trailer - a Blue Tongue Off Road Deluxe.
We have a young family - it's my hubby and I, and our two young kids ages 4 & 2.
We bought ourself a used Oz trail Chateau 10 tent in January and started camping every other week. We weren't sure how the kids were going to go, but they absolutely love camping! There was a little too much hassle and stress trying to put up the Chateau 10 and manage the kids after a long drive, and so we thought that we would look into a camper trailer seeing as how we all love camping so much and wanted to continue doing it often.
We started looking through the forums and reading the reviews. Like most, we were on a budget for our first new camper. So, if we went and checked out a few of the budget campers, and then went to a camping show. The trailers we were most interested in, disappointed us. We then came across Blue Tongue and fell in love with the tent and also saw that the trailers were really well built - this was the camper for us. We put a deposit down for a new trailer that weekend, and because we were excited for went home to read more about them. People on the forums kept saying to buy a used camper trailer, and as there was a lot of savings to be had. So, I started looking at used Blue Tongues and found one on Ebay. It was a higher end model than the one we put the deposit on, and with a better trailer and more features. The trailer on Ebay was just over a year old, and just over half the price of the new one. So, we bought it and cancelled our order for the new one.
I'm sitting here under the awning at my first weekend away with my Blue Tongue Off Road Deluxe, and and couldn't be happier. It was a beauty to tow, sooooooo easy to set up, tonnes of room for us and the kids, and a great quality tent.
The kids are waking now, but so it's time to go and enjoy the rest of our weekend camping...
Nice to meet you
