Hi there. Traveling family, new to the group!
« on: April 17, 2013, 02:13:20 PM »
Hi there.

I'm Bec and my hubby is James. We are a family of four traveling and working around Aus for at least 12 months or longer. Kids are 6 and 7.

We currently have a 25 year old caravan that we are hoping to "upgrade" to an offroad camper as soon as someone offers us enough cash for the van! (Know anyone who wants an old 20 foot on roader in FNQ?). Can't wait for the freedom of the trailer!

We're from the Far South Coast of NSW but currently hanging out in FNQ while I work to make us some cash for the next leg of the trip. I'll be asking all sorts of questions I'm sure as we've never had an off road camper before!

Anyway, HELLO! From us!

Hi Bec & James,

Welcome to Myswag.
You will get plenty of advise from the Guys and Gals on this site.
Good luck with your search for an OR CT.

I might try and catch up for a drink mate.
Are you staying at a caravan park?
I go down to Mission Beach a lot with my work.
Pm me if you want to catch up.

Recently sold my off road Jayco Dove Van and replaced with a Dingo offroad camper - already know that the camper is more our thing!!  Hope it all works out for you as well!  8)

Welcome to my swag Bec and James.  How long you guys hanging around up here for? I am sure some swaggers can show you their camper setups and answer most of your questions.  I am happy to show yous ours but it isn't getting delivered until next month.
